The R333 O'Doul is a reprint
The borders are too wide even though its trimmed. Also the border should blend into the clouds where they touch, also the players name at bottom should be crisper with the holes in letters like "R" "A" should be larger and cleaner. The uniform is off color too.

this one is low grade but you can see the difference in quality and colors




The W517-1 looks like its authentic (99.9997% sure ). If its a fake Ive never seen that good of one before. The most common reprints on those will have "W-517" printed in the lower corner border (usually seen scuffed off), and the back card stock is white and smooth.

The Sepia versions of the W517-1 have a back like your color and also a more cream color. All of the authentic cards have a rough surface card stock, unlike the most common reprints which have a smooth card stock.
