I am not saying they are fakes, just curious as to how it can actually be determined.

With these 2 specific cards, they have amazing provenance. The gentleman that runs the billripken.com website posted in this thread saying good luck on the sale. If there was any problem at all he would have pointed it out.
After that you have to study these type of cards. There are some that ended up on the front of Cello and Rack packs. From them you can study the width, depth, and location of the cut to see if it matches the ones on those packs.
Now the other side to be fair. Yes anybody could put a cut into a card. Most of those are easy to spot because of how different the cut looks compared to known real factory cut ones. Because anybody can cut a strip into them it is best to buy from someone with a lot of experience with these type of cards. For the most part because of this they sell normally for around the same price as uncut versions unless you are buying from a trusted seller that knows these type of cards.
