  Check the seal to confirm that roller marks line up. Check corner folds to see if there is any unusual looseness and that there are no unusual wrinkles or creases in the wrapper. Check the gum size to confirm it is correct for that year.

  Take everything you know about authenticating a raw pack and apply the same when considering a GAI pack. If you're not confident in your abilities to do that then find it somewhere else from a seller or authenticator you have greater confidence in. It wouldn't hurt then to take a close look at it in order to increase your authenticating skills.

  Unfortunately, none of the things to check can reasonably done from pictures.
