1. (Recommended): Depending on what type of material and how thick of paper it is, turn the photo over and look for any pressure points. She doesn't send out APs so if you see anywhere where maybe the signature can be seen on the back, chances are it's real.

2. (Not necessarily recommended, but an option): Grab a cue tip and tab it in rubbing alcohol. Not much, just a little. Then apply it to a pen point size of the signature. This will tell you if it's real or not by lifting the ink or it won't get anything which would signal PP. I wouldn't recommend this unless you know what you're doing and have a steady hand.

I assumed it was pre print when I received it, but I did shine light on it and could see colors change in the signature. It's probably just a pre print though like you said.
