The short answer is, you need 20 years of practice (at least) and even then, there are giant disagreements. There are a LOT of sellers who (knowingly or unknowingly) sell non-originals as originals.
"Repros" in the sense of being on Kodak paper are easy to tell. The problem is with "re-strikes" and "unmarked TV re-releases". These are two giant and different problems. I will post a follow-up with much more about how to tell, but right now I am headed to work, and I only do MoPo from home, so that will have to wait. See you all later. Stay isolated and stay safe!
