Did I buy a counterfit?

Did I buy a counterfit?

The card on the right has thicker text, the picture also looks a little bit more reddish. On the backs, the cards look identical. I bought a lot of oldschool cards in the last few months, and this card on the right is the only one among hundreds that looks off. The other cards from the same seller all looked legitimate. Could there be variety in the printing or did I buy a fake? Only cost me 2€, so it wouldn't be a huge tragedy, but I assumed these cards weren't really counterfeited yet. Especially not the german ones.

Blackbeard Holos from 2006

Was never released in english, as the CCG was discontinued after Set 2, this this from german Set 10, though name and title are the same as they would have been in english. In italian, they called him "Barbanera". Do you think the english name could make the card appealing to collectors even outside of german speaking regions? They could have named him "Schwarzbart".
