Until recently the term "authentic" was not frequently encountered in card grade terminology. Certainly "trimmed" and "poor/fair" were often seen. A lot of "poor/fair" cards in my estimation could include some trimmed ones (depending on the quality of the others), since the term could be intended to present an average grade for the lot. Individual trimmed cards however, should be accurately described as such.

You do not state the range of grades in the lot which you won, so I can not assess whether the term poor/fair was accurately used (according to my understanding).

Edited to add: Now that I see your scans, since the Radbourne is favorable, Id be happy with a p/f designation for the lot.
