Is this Yzerman legit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/STEVE-YZERMAN-CUP-LIMITED-LOGOS-PATCH-AUTO-RARE-50-/270709941585?pt=US_Hockey_Trading_Cards&hash=item3f0791e551

I ask not just for discussion purposes but because I want an Yzerman Limited Logos. Until now all I have seen is basic 1 or 2 color patches that seem to come from his letters or numbers. The swatches have all been so boring I have refrained from buying a copy.
If you know anything about this card or this seller, please please share. I really want to avoid blowing my money on a fake.
Thank You,
Sean

in my opinion it is almost surely a fake- UD took a ton of photos of the high end swatches during pack out and this one was never shown. You would think that such a gorgeous patch and a high end highly collected player like Yzerman would have been shown.

The seller (on another board) was suspected of selling a fake Ray Lewis (or some other Raven) which that board felt was fake and gave some pretty strong reasons to suggest that it indeed was fake.

I just googled fake [sellername] ebay and it was one of the hits.

I wouldn't touch it.........
 
Don't recall those patches ever being used by UD - plus they can be found relatively easily on ebay. The size of it even looks too big for the patch itself
 
Thanks to everyone for their quick responses and help. I was ready to hit the BIN. Based on the replies in this thread I am staying away from it.

Sadly Limited Logos is a truly double edge sword as it provides some of the most spectacular patches in the hobby but for the same reason it is a patch faker's heaven. Let's face it, a patch like this is totally possible for Limited Logos. I personally have pulled some Limited Logos patches myself (not of Yzerman) to make this one in question look boring. You should have seen the Ryan Miller I pulled in 07/08, I'd have sworn it was a fake if I hadn't pulled it myself in a store full of people.

Thanks again for all the help,

seems like its a slam dunk fake based on all the previous feedback. A seller of ill repute as well, Id avoid that one.....
 
To give the guy credit, it does look like one of the worst Yzerman autos I have seen.
