I won the card this afternoon. With shipping it was only $30.95, and I paid with AmEx so all good on that end. I posted it in the autograph forum asking for opinions, and one guy had a list of five points that he said pointed to it being authentic (creased card, poor pen, common player, personalized, smeared) so I'm very confident that it's real.

With regards to that particular signature, it is of Cardinals outfielder Harry "P-Nuts" Lowrey. I noticed Lowrey either signed autographs as ' "P-Nuts" Lowrey' or "To (fans name) (Best wishes/regards/something similar) Harry "P-Nuts" Lowrey". My guess is the former were obtained in person; the latter TTM, when Lowrey would have had the fan's name in front of him and time to sit down and sign those extra words. In terms of flow and length, it matched up well with the ones on SCN.
