Did I buy a fake Stargell auto...or did I luck out?

I was bored last night and wanted to take advantage of the IE9 / Windows 7 eBay promotion (today's the last day).

I saw a Willie Stargell auto from the 1998 Upper Deck Retro Series that appears to be good and went ahead and bought it in the last minute.

Then for some reason I remembered the seller cardboardpimping looked like one who had warning flags before and I ended up finding him with some questionable feedback / commentary on the boards before.

Then I saw this thread:

Here's the auction:

1998 Upper Deck Stargell Auto

Did I get lucky and buy a real auto?

i'd say what out for it being more likely trimmed than anything else.

Why would anybody trim the card?

Im sure you are fine with that card...its an insert autograph and no one is altering that. Nice card

This is true, this is a pack pulled certified auto, unless he physically printed the card (I highly doubt that), it is real.

legit signature.....Stargell autographs are plentiful and not in great demand, and while I suppose there are some forgeries out there, this isn't one of them

Thanks for the opinions...I'll go ahead with the transaction. I'm a old school Pirates fan, so the Stargell auto is for my permanent collection.

You guys obviously aren't familiar with said seller...
