Default HELP! Is this an authentic 1911 T3 Turkey Red?

I need some help. I've only seen 2-3 Turkey Red cards in person, but I've been trying to get one. I finally won an auction last night:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/373651811279

The card is marked as original, but after comparing it with others I'm suspicious that it could be a replica. Comparing it with other examples of the same card the image of the card I won looks brighter and more washed out. For instance, when I compare it to this other listing (https://www.ebay.com/itm/233714166812) the image looks much less "rich". It looks more similar to the coloring of this Ty Cobb replica (https://www.etsy.com/hk-en/listing/7...ey-red-cabinet). It's hard to tell if the surface has that orange peel / leather look that the real cards have from the scans. I compared the back to this one and it does have the same glue look, but the text looks like a different color (https://www.ebay.com/itm/373635823535).

I know it's hard to tell whether these are just poor scans. I'm just looking for a "gut feel" from someone with experience to either give me confidence that it's real, or confirm that it looks suspect?
