I guess I assume that every card that is not slabbed or sold by a seller with only %97 feedback and less than 100 stars is fake.

That's usually a very solid assumption. The card pictured in that auction is indeed real. Whether the seller actually owns it, who knows.

I just bought a Sweet Caporal Cobb Bat On last night. Paid 600 for a PSA 2. To think! i could have had one in much better condition, and a Young to boot! All for an additional 23 bucks. I'm sick...

Look how close Ty's belt is to the left margin in the fake. Look how close the butt of his bat is to the right margin on the fake. Look at the slope of Ty's shoulder how it is cropped on the fake.

Look how Cy's hand is cropped in the right margin of the fake.

FAKE>>FAKE>>FAKE

Now we wait and see if the buyer leaves good feedback.
