Trump campaign selling autopenned hats
Not intended to start a political rant and I hope everyone here is professional enough to not wreck a thread by taking it in that direction.
Have seen a number of different ads from the Trump campaign offering "signed" Trump hats for donations such as in this ad for $183. Just an FYI that if you donate to get one of these "signed" hats, you will be receiving an autopenned version and not an authentic signature. There will be some people all over the country donating to get these and they likely won't know they are getting a fake, and a few of these are bound to make their way into the hobby purposefully or not. If you actually follow the links in the ads, and read the fine print, you will see where the campaign indicates they are autopenned. (Just noticed the same thing occuring with the "signed" Art of the Deal books they are offering as well.) Last edited by thenavarro; 09-23-2016 at 09:00 PM. |

same with the books. there are a few for sale on ebay now, being presented as authentic but they are all autopenned. You really have to dig deep in the ad to see it but that is how they are protecting themselves legally. Frankly, I do not understand why Mr. Trump could not sign them himself. I think its a great idea to raise money, but not under false pretenses.

I remember reading something about the majority of requested autos from politicians are autopenned (especially the PREZ) as they simply don't have the time to sign everything they get asked for.
Not as true for 18th century , but I know a lot of modern president autos are autopenned.

I have never seen auto penned sigs advertised and sold before. This is certainly a new one.

I have purchased "signed" books before through Barnes & Noble online and received autopen copies. (Sarah Palin). Also, Hillary Clinton used to do book "signings" in person at the store, but she wouldn't sign them there, only pass them out, and they were autopenned. (It Takes a Village books) Never, ever, trust modern political signed books without doing due dilligence. |

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
