Welcome to the forum, Mike.
While I am certainly not the expert on vintage and pre-war cards that many of our other members are, I see nothing in these scans that would raise a red flag. The Goudey and U.S. Caramels have uniform wear around the edges and corners. The typography looks correct, the coloring is spot on compared to the other examples I have seen.
Everything looks good to me. Hope you can get them!
Edit: I agree with the comments about graded cards, too. Always buy the card, not the grade. Examine it just like you would a raw card. Use a jeweler's loupe, and compare it to another from the same set that you know is legitimate.
