I recently wrote to Mr. Bush Sr. and sent a SASE to him and he was gracious enough to mail it back to me with this picture and inscribtion. I used the address in the database and sent on 10 Mar. 2009 and received on 8 May 2009. This one i was wandering if was power-pened or authentic? It seems to be two different prints sizes and ink darker and thicker on Signature. Thanks!

it's a secretarial personalization with most likely an autopen signature.

That's where this success actually came from. Look at the return address and postmark! {thumb2}

i think he signs authentically if you send him a photo to sign... i got one back from him last month that doesn't appear to be an autopen

Actually, that's not true. Most of the presidents once they're out of office DO sign authentically. It just takes the right address.

Clinton still uses autopen.
