Hi Bob,
You may recall I warned about these a couple of months ago:

The cards you referenced have the tell-tale black ink spot, but others have already been made that lack it. As feared, these are now being "aged", although you correctly saw how they seem to share the same crease areas. In hand you should have no problem, for reasons found in my prior post. Also,I would bet that these cards do not feel "broken in", but are instead more rigid, even if showing creases. Finally and of course, the Wood and Sisler are easily debunked because they are m101-5 cards that cannot have the ad backs this counterfeiter used.
