Are these japanese jungle cards real or fake?

Yesterday I got home some japanese jungle packs and I'm a bit unsure if they are real or not.

When I put them on a pile you can see white lines on the cards like this picture:

Some of the cards have slighly asymmetrical yellow borders? Thought I've seen english cards have that too that I'm sure are real..

The order of the cards were 1 holo, 3 uncommon and 6 commons, and the packs looked real but its always hard when you just have videos and picture to compare to.

The artwork on the cards looks a bit darker than their english counterpart.

Sorry if there is a thread for this kind of things, I searched but didn't find anything.
 
They look real because the quality of the cards seem quite high. Usually fakes look quite obvious. The white lines could be some wear and tear since the packs they've been sealed in have probably moved about here and there for the last 10 years from seller to seller. The packs can't always protect the cards inside.
 
As Ka$h Money said, the quality is very high which isn't to normal in fakes, and the cards themselves look good, and it is hard to recreate the Holo-foil effect as well as Nintendo. The darkness is just because of a slight printing mistake, don't worry Videoland, these are legit cards.
 
I think the white lines seam to be connected with the white lines at the back of the card so I don't think its because some kind of damage. (a few of the cards have been a bit damaged thought, but yeah, thats pretty normal for such old cards I guess.)

I've riped some of the cards too, and they seamed legit and hight quality, but I just wanted to have some other opinion since I'm thinking about buying more from the same seller (got a very good price).
 
I have cards identical to those and they are legit. That being said, I'd trust the buyer and get some more if the price was good. :p
 
I got them for 2 dollars each, I guess it helps to have a young and childish voice sometimes he probably thought I was a poor 12 year old girl ^^ :p Or he just wanted to get rid of them, japanese cards are not very popular in sweden.. But I like all old school cards ^^
 
As someone who's seen a good share of old school Japanese cards, those look real to me from what I can see from the pictures.
 
They are 100% real. It´s impossible to fake cards of this quality, seeing how bad the english fakes are already...
The different size of the borders is an issue of how the cards are cut.
 
Thanks for all your answers! I think I can assume that they are real :D I did bought some more, sadly I pulled mostly doubles, the only new card I got was Jolteon, but that was the card I wanted the most at least :p
