I've only found two warped reeds, one of which was the one that Ben found. I don't have the history of the reeds, but I know I was over-wetting (soaking) some of my reeds.
I am now keeping my playing reeds in Vito reed guards. I use a Rovner ligature, and I don't store a reed with the mpc. I use a piece of tempered glass to check the reeds. I think I'll start checking reeds when they are new, and periodically during use to gain some experience. I just checked a box of new (dry) Grand Concert reeds, and none was warped.
I don't know for a fact, but even though machining processes haven't changed, maybe quality control or cane quality is different now.
