I doubt these are fake. From the picture, it looks like these were taken directly from a Life Magazine (given that there is a border on three sides and not on the other and given that they do not appear to be hand cut), particularly as you have two complete sets. The backs should be white with adds on the back. If the magazine cards are perforated as I recall, you should be able to get number grades on these. I don't think they are particularly valuable given the huge number that survived in magazines in great condition, but still well worth a bit more than what you paid. As a reference point, I think I paid just a little over $100 for a complete magazine with cards. The cards are still awesome and it was a great buy.
