my guess: fake just based on the first card.
plus they all look nicely centered. I expect some greasy stains.
sharp coners too???
But wait and see what others say, im no expert.

Yeah need to wait on someone who knows what they are talking about, no disrespect intended but they came from a very reliable source and I will get a refund if fake.
Edit*
The printing under loupe is 100% consistent on the entire set, so it's either all real or all fake

Looks like I will be taking them back. Thanks for the opinions guys, I figured they were bad when I saw the pixelation so we wrote it into the contract.
I'd agree that the Bauer definitely looks bad, which wouldn't bode well for the other 3. Even if those 3 are real, they are most definitely trimmed. One thing to look for on Dan Dees are small perforations on each edge. Some cards have them more pronounced than others (see example below).

Chuck thank you very much for the explanation. I do have another question. When you look at the cards (authentic) under a loupe, should the black border and name be solid?
No problem, Sean, glad to help. On the other question: hmmm, not sure. My Dan Dee Mantle is in the safety deposit box, so I wouldn't be able to check that any time soon. Good question, though.
