Dear Steve and Marie,
The print you are referring to is one of Utamaro's most famous--and reproduced. It would sell for tens of thousands of dollars in good condition, $50 for a good reprint, less for a bad one. That's how you know!
As for versions, I believe there is one with mica and one without, but I would have to check this.
