John McCain AP Success (although opinions needed)

I sent an email (which I believe is now invalid) requesting an autograph. Today I received a 8x10 AP'ed photo, plus a typed and signed letter.

I was wondering if anyone would know if the signature on the letter is authentic? In my opinion, the signature seems a bit too neat for it to be authentic. Plus the top loop in the 'J' seems quite narrower than the other signatures on the board :neutral:

Hi there :),

The signature on my letter from McCain is a PP, but your's is either:

a) An autopen

OR

b) A preprint of an autopen

Cheers for your thoughts, Jason 8)

I'm pretty sure mine is an original (albeit I'm not 110% certain on this) but it really looks like its done by a pen. However, if it were otherwise, I wouldn't be all that suprised... :roll:

You can compare it with this.

It's clear that the signatures are different (so that crosses off the chances of it being an AP or PP'ed letter). Now, it's a matter of whether it is actually signed by John himself, or a secretary :?
