Are these base set booster packs fake?

Hey guys,

Recently bought these base set booster packs and they just seem a little off. The coloration is extremely light, something I did not notice when I was initially viewing them before actually purchasing. I used G&S, but before I take any action I would like to get some input from the expertise of the community in regards to if they are actually fake or not…

Thanks a lot. Pics below.

Looks fine to me

They look okay. What is off about them besides light coloration?

I’m not sure. Maybe I’m just too heavily influenced by the two YouTube videos I watched regarding fake base set booster packs. They all look dead on like these. I’m no expert on packs or anything, that’s why I was wondering if anyone noticed anything else immediately apparent such as font/centering, etc.

Was it that video by any chance? Read the comments on the video, it will hopefully put your mind at ease

Interesting! Yes, this was one of the two I watched. Thanks for bringing the comments to my attention.

Thanks guys! Sorry about the novice question, it was just my first vintage sealed product purchase. Glad I have experts to refer to.

Base set 1999-2000 print booster packs (and the cards) are lighter colored then normal packs. Maybe you scored a set of them! Check the dates and where it was made on the back of it
