might be wrong tho as it might have been sold 2nd hand or by vendors and not directly by the candidate's PAC or wtvr

Please read my post again.
I said that presidents do not sell autopen stuff.
I made no mention of candidates.

The closest thing I've had is a Barbara Bush "autographed" book. Looked neat until I looked it up. Factory edition autopenned signature, and the key to it is that the autopenned version of the book has a different ISBN than the regular book.

I have worked on capital hill, the autopen machine is funny (assuming they are using the one we used in the senate, i am sure many people think their letter was really signed but its a machine that does it and takes a little longer than a real autograph.

Jake,
Auto pens have been around for approx 50 years and are well known amongst autograph collectors. It is not difficult to differentiate once you know what you are looking for. Most advanced autograph guys are not going to be fooled. That being said, yes there are a number of people out there that think they have a genuine signed item.

I have been offered so many autopen political items. People receive form letter with best wishes from a President and they believe it is really signed by the President. Most times they do not believe it when I tell them sorry it is not really signed.

Stamps are just as popular as the auto pen. Even Lawrence Taylor used a stamp. I have several of them I got returned through the mail. The difference is obvious and he's not even a politician.

Many athletes have used auto pens as well. Jack Nicklaus is quite common. Mickey Mantle even used one.
