It seems pretty clear to me that the card on the right (for honesty's sake, I will state that I eliminate PWCC from every single ebay search I do) was sharpened in photoshop. Doesn't mean it was reworked, but maybe the tone, brightness, color balance, etc., plus other factors, were adjusted to maximize the look. The card on the left looks more of a 'normal' scan (possibly without a CCD element?), which I'm sure many high-volume sellers use.

If you have a scanner, scan in another 1933 Goudey that you believe has the sharpness that you love, and see if it looks (very) similar to either of the images you've highlighted. That may help tell you what the card on the left 'really' looks like.
