The "Gem" card I have does not appear fake in any way. I just found a bit odd that it got "Gem" with very creamy borders...
I think creamy borders and off white borders are kind of similar (semantics). I could easily see a creamy bordered card still being Gem. This one (in link) is mint and looks to have sort of creamy, off white borders. I think time will do that to cards (paper) even when they are pristine otherwise.
