I wonder why the disc has the PSCN catalog number imprinted on the back.
Anyway, it's possible that someone had the album, but lost everything but the disc, and printed up replacement booklets etc. (though I don't know how an amateur would do a slipcase.)
However, there isn't anything on those scans that convinces me that they are fakes. They could all just be artifacts that naturally occur in printing. I think that the real test would be to find someone else with a copy, and do a head to head comparison, looking at not just the printing, but the feel and quality of the paper as well.
By the way, back when I used to play Magic the Gathering, I used to collect printing errors -- the kind that would usually get tossed if they hadn't slipped through inspection (e.g. ink bleeds, running out of ink in one (or more) a particular color, etc.) It's amazing how much variation a process like printing can produce.
