The one in the SCP auction could easily be the real one. The edge closest to Lou's chest has two skid marks that closely resemble the marks on the left edge of the auction item. Since the picture was taken right after he sole the base all the dirt is still fresh and moist. After years of drying it will lighten up and some will come off from handling. I've seen game used balls look dofferent theday after the game because they dry. On game day they have fresh mud rubbed onto them. By the next day it tends to dry. Sometimes they even darken a bit. But I would put my money on that SCP one...
