They seem ok but I'd like a second opinion just in case. Also is it ok for me to have two bags in one post or should do a post per bag?

I don't believe either is authentic.
While I don't like to disparage sales from sellers in certain countries, I don't recommend buying from the country where those bags are coming. (You and I discussed it privately last week and my opinion stands.)
The fakes coming out of that country are extremely close, seem to be "well" made (although I haven't held on in my hands) and are ripping off a lot of buyers.

Bummer thanks. They were purchased off de. pop, one was from Arizona and the other Nevada. I wish i could do a better job of identifying their origin and save myselfthe return troubles. Its possible the sellers didn't know. I'm probably just gonna stay away from new stuff for a bit. Especially over there.

There was a time when Japanese sellers had a reputation of ultimate honesty. (My understanding is that there are supposedly very strict laws against the sale of counterfeit items in Japan. But in the last 10-15 years, the fakes have multiplied more quickly than rabbits!)
