Wayne Gretzky O-Pee-Chee ROOKIE - Real or Fake?

[jbrown]

I picked this card up in a collection and I was wondering how to tell if it is real or fake. What should I look for? Thanks for the help! Here are the scans:

Sorry, I thought I gave you the reason.
Its not just the dot as reprints have been able to get the dot on there. Its also the edges. These cards werent sheet cut, they were wire cut, so there are typically rouge edges on these cards. Those 2 things together say reprint.

You can see the print dot on Gretzky's left shoulder (our right hand side) in the orange of the jersey. That is one of the tell tale signs, although i have heard there is some reprints made with that print dot as well.
