Error Unlimited Jungle Packs?

    Okay, so this is my first post here. I've been a collector for 12 years, and more recently started selling cards as well. Today I bought 32 booster packs, 15 of which are base set unlimited and 17 that are Unlimited Jungle. Before I bought them, the seller told me that the last three cards in each of the jungle packs are first editions...which made me hesitant to buy them. Nonetheless, I paid for them and subsequently opened a pack. The card order was correct (7 common, Rare non-holo, 3 uncommon) And, as he said, the last three uncommons are first edition. I did the rip test on one of the commons, and it passed with flying colors. The outer pack design also looks like the early first-edition pack runs, but without the symbol (Flareon is kind of greenish and the "Trading Card Game" is out of focus a bit, which I remember from 10 years ago and doesn't mean it's fake). All of the packs came from the same box with the same SKU number. Are they all real, and are they all error packs? Thanks in advance.

    Now, I found something else strange...I happened to notice one of the 16 remaining jungle packs was *much* thicker and heavier than the others-I opened it, and it had a 12th card in it- an extra first-edition uncommon! Again, card order, the cards themselves, it all looks real. It feels real. It even SMELLS like the real thing. What the heck happened when WOTC packaged this box??

    At this point, I'm pretty sure that the packs are real- but I've never seen inconsistencies like this before.
     
    I dpn't think the cards are fake at this point...they're identical to genuine cards in every way. I'm just not used to seeing a mix of first-edition and unlimited in the same booster pack, or 12 cards in a booster pack...
