Try telling someone their "autograph" is a preprint, autopen or secretary signature and u get hell for it. Search the celebrity and if its someone that does autopen like Michelle Pfeiffer it easy to tell they are all the same. Also search the signature and see if they match up to authentic examples to make sure u dont get a secretary signature.

Ok, my next question then, is why are there stickied topics that say there are lists when there are no lists. Seems somewhat pointless.

There are topics on who sends out what here on the forums

One of the greatest attractions for alot of us in this hobby is the "hunt", and the sense of accomplishment of getting that special item signed. There are tens of thousands of celebs out there and it is virtually impossible to create and maintain a reliable database. Besides, there is a great deal of debate about authenticity of certain celebs, and that will never change. The longer you do this, the less you will need to rely on other people's information to get the auto's you want. You will need to do your own research for the information regarding who does/doesn't sign authentically but as I said...it gets easier to determine over time.

I am pretty new here. I was just wondering why I can't see any actual list on the stickied topics of celebs known to send APs, secs, PP, etc.? It seems like there may have been a list at some point, but it isn't there now. Just a bunch of posts about individual cases. Thanks for any heads up, as I think these lists could be very informative.
