Do you mean by a "copy" a copy of an augtograph or a pre-print etc? If you mean the later, there is a pretty good posting about fakes and how to spot them from sometime ago in the general discussion forum.

Probably the quickest explanation is that a pre-print looks like the signature is a part of the photo. Not like the signature has been written on the photo. There a a couple "tricks" to identify a pre-print.

Take the photo and tilt it under the light at a certain angle. You can tell if it is printed or was actually signed by doing this. Also if it is a common PP that a bunch of people have recieved you know it is a PP as all the sigs look the same and were printed!.
