The only one that looks different to me is the card on the left. Do the other two differ with regards to that bat?
The image shows that the overall color of the card on the left is all out of whack. The yellow is significantly duller and it's missing some red (magenta) ink, among possibly other things, as compared to the middle and right cards. That probably explains what's going on here.
