As Adam pointed out, the main thing is image clarity.
I thought they were fakes because they just didn't look right. You develop that sense after looking at lots of real examples (same with cards, photos, etc.) - if these fakes were the first you saw, you would probably be fooled. The person who I sent them to had the same reaction. Whoever created these used real photos for the fronts, and created the backs using a method that was similar to how the real ones were created (or at least, achieved similar results), but the quality wasn't quite as good.
By the way - I do NOT have these in my collection, nor do I have any other fake postcards. I sent these back to the guy I got them from. He was certain that they were real, so I guess someone eventually got screwed.
