Star-Bulletin issues on the market today are the reprint editions. The genuine is eight pages and has an ink smear between the A and R in the large word WAR! in the headline. Feel free to use our website’s search engine (12/7/1941), to see an authentic version (if one is currently available). You will see the spot clearly. Typically, reprints have cleaned up the spot to make the paper look better. Reprints also have “2nd Extra” and “3rd Extra” headlines on inside pages. Originally printed independently, the 2nd and 3rd Extras were incorporated into reprint versions. One can still buy reprints at the souvenir stand of the Pearl Harbor memorial. We only offer genuine issues.
