That's all true, but these Robinson examples are not linen postcards.
This postcard has a texture, but it is not the texture of linen postcards, which have a cross-hatched or 'woven' texture, which gives them their name.
There are plenty of examples of photo papers that have a surface texture -- I'm thinking of 1970s color snapshots as an easy example for the over-50 set -- but I had not seen a RPPC with a texture like this before today. That authenticated example that sold in Hunt along with this one make a pretty good argument that they exist.
EKC photo postcard stock was a Kodak product. (EKC = Eastman Kodak Company). Any postcard on EKC stock is a photographic print.
