Look at this first scan of a real Willaims F/s on ebay:

Then look at this scan of a reprint also f/s on ebay:

The reprint is no where near as clear with a "faded" appearance imo. There is an overall lighter quality to the printing. Reprint backs, if they ever show a scan of the back, are white in color opposed to the cradboard natural color of the cards. Maybe there are different reprints out there, but these are what I see. In person, they have a gloss, different feel, stiffness and glow brightly under a black light. Hope that helps.
