Is my Rookie Photoshoot Auto legit?

[GilbertArenas0]

This is my first time getting a rookie photoshoot auto (i'm stoked!). I've read from numerous articles that this set is one of the most counterfitted each year (that was football though.)

I'm just wondering if my photoshoot auto has all the characteristics of a legit one? Back photo is a little cutoff, my bad.

Photoshoot auto's are popular because they are on-card and have a nice design. Some people were taking the regular unsigned Photoshoot versions and faking them.

Because it has the round Topps sticker and because it is of a common rookie I am pretty sure that it is legit. People would not be likely to go to the trouble of counterfeiting that card because unlike some of the others, it is not worth very much. Nice card though.

Thanks for the info. Were the unsigned version released through packs or were they not intended for distribution?

I am pretty sure the unsigned versions were not in packs but extras given out to players or ones that somehow found their way in to the marketplace.
