These 2 cards came from Donovan Ryan who was a big name in Ripken errors back in the day. Him along with a fellow Net54 member worked with GAI/Global Authority on grading them properly.

How can you tell that this is actually one of the saw cuts and not just someone taking a saw to the cards on their own?

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