Fake or just different printing quality?

**This is basically an identical post from the mtg sub but I wasn't aware of this community until after posting the other. So if you see it twice.... my apologies.

I found a decent deal on a Soul Stone on ebay and picked it up. When it arrived it seemed kind of off and slightly thinner. I started checking to see if it was a fake and several of the typical tests passed just using my phone to zoom in on the back. When I did a light test I can almost see straight through this thing compared to what I am used to. The second image is a different card from the same set just for comparison.

The guy says it was bought from a local store of his and opened from a pack but I already got a return submitted for it.

I just want to know if there is a chance this kind of thing is real and card quality can be that drastically different from the different printers?

Edit: Reddit doesn't let you add images after posting. I have added more shots in comments.
