Sarah Palin AP book(Now returned)

[collectorbeck]

and you'd expect better out of Sarah Palin? lol

Sorry to hear that Ryan.

That's a pretty large scam that she's running, since the AP copies sell for several dollars more than the unsigned copies. Quite deceptive, in my opinion, as AP signatures are worthless for anything but sentimental value in my eyes.

That's nuts that she's trying to pass off the autographs in her book as the real deal. I am glad you got it back. What an extremely deceiving and wrong thing to do, especially when you are paying money for it.

I agree.
Not only did i get riped off but it is a scam.
Thanks everybody for taking the time to comment.

I would be skeptical of any full signature of Sarah Palin. Her current signatures done at book signings are huge; they almost take up the entire page.

There was a bit of an uproar during her "Going Rogue" book tour when her staff would hand out autopenned bookplates to those who had waited upwards of 4 hours for an authentic signature.

These autopenned books have now flooded eBay. This is a huge sham.

It should of been obvious for me since im familiar with her AP siganture.
I guess i was excited and blown off the fact that they would scam me like that.
Same thing happend with mitt romney at a book signing.

If I had been at a store and looked at the actual signature and compared it to others before I bought, I wouldn't have. But, I preordered online and didn't get to look at the signature. I think that these celebs and politicians think that there aren't any hardcore collectors of autographs out there like us and they think people will be happy with preprints and autopens. I'm not! Especially if I'm paying more than I would for a normal copy of the book. I'm disappointed with Sarah Palin and her publishers for trying to scam us like this. I paid for an authentically signed book! At least I get my money back. I should probably stop complaining! ha ha

As I said over on my topic... .....I think it's ridiculous that the publishers would scam the general public by selling fake autographed books like that. They should have known better. I'm going to be calling HarperCollins Monday and see what I can find out.

[WildChild96]

I think you should definitely call them.

Well, after being given the run-around most of the day, the receptionist at HarperCollins finally put me thru to the Editor of 'America By Heart'. I can't remember what his name was, but he admitted that the signatures were autopenned. He said this happens a lot in the publishing industry. He said he's "sorry" and that it "is mis-leading", and that the "only way to get an authentic signature is to attend one of the book-signing events or to buy the limited edition, leather-bound signed book". What a jerk!! And what a horrible company!!
