I think it's a repro. If you look at the other calendars this seller is offering, the January page uses the exact same date lay out and font, year in and year out. The 1st is always on Saturday, no matter what the year is....I haven't checked but I'm that isn't a coincidence. Besides, that image is used on other repro items. Also, notice how each one offered is special in some way. Avoid like the plague!
