Currently you can submit them as auto authentication only, and raiderguy10 is running his annual bulk special for TRADING CARD flips at only $13 a card on both blowout and PSA/CU boards.
Or you can pay like $36 a card to have the card and auto authenticated and graded, where they will put the name of the card on the flip. This is true of the 2022 Mike Trout example you mention. It will show up on the PSA/DNA tab of the pop report for that set, not the regular card grade tab. Most IP/TTM cards are not worth paying this much to be graded/authenticated, so people go for the much cheaper auto-only fee.
If the card says TRADING CARD, you're correct, it could be either real or fake. If they catch that it's a counterfeit, they'll list it as reprint. But hey, PSA has graded hundreds/thousands of counterfeit cards as authentic over the years, so take any assessment with a grain of salt. In this case, it's up to you to determine whether or not the card is real by inspection. It used to be relatively cheap to take TRADING CARD flips and send them to PSA and for only $10 (on cards worth $99 or less), PSA used to authenticate and grade the card.
If the card is in a RED FLIP with the card info, then it went through both the card grading and auto grading process.
Also, depending on whether or not you are trying to load them into various set registries, sometimes the card needs to be graded and sometimes the auto needs to be graded. A card with an IP/TTM auto that has been PSA/DNA authentication cannot be used for a non-auto registry set, either.

Hey John, do you have a link to the group auto sub info on Blowout? I have some things I'd consider sending off at that price.
Thank you!
