My question is, are reprints common and how can you tell a reprint from an original?

I have noticed a lot of reprint/actually counterfeit wrappers the last few years. Some of the better ones are hard to tell apart from real.
People will scam for pennies. One of the biggest misconceptions in the hobby is cheap stuff/low grade is safe when in reality it is not.
