Are those envelopes legit? I see them from time to time on eBay listed as silk catchets or something like that but I've never snagged one?

If by "legit" you mean they're not just customs someone threw together, then yes. Colorano, Z Silk and Gateway have been issuing these things for some 30+ years. Those companies' main markets are non sports collectors, they just issue a few a year.

There is a good explanation of what they are here:

There are some that I would classify as customs, but even some of those are pretty nice (though some just look like jumbled messes).
