  2. Both reprint issues have 3 staples.

    Both issues have the "Page 3" designation.

    The 1st reprint has a rectangular black box (top right) that touches the top edge of the page.

    The 2nd reprint has a square box very similar to the original.

    It might be inconsequential, but the outer paper stock on the 1st reprint seems slightly thicker and the surface is smoother.

    Hope that helps
