real or fake Mantles?

Comparing the scans from the auction to those available at the site you directed me to just made me more confused about this auction. After being outbid I had convinced myself that the cards must be fakes or reprints. However after looking at the site I was directed to I am leaning more to that they might be genuine Mantles. Of course without having the cards in my possession I cannot do the testing for opaqueness or magnifying the card to check for solid rather than half tone printing. The images themselves are Var. A of the Mantle and have none of the obvious counterfeit flaws.....I guess I'll never know for sure.
