Are you sure? Because it's written in marker on regular letterhead. It defnitely looks like it was handwritten by someone. I was more so wondering if it was sec.

110% sure, I've seen many examples of this exact auto in other pics, letters, etc. This is an autopen she uses very often, you can even google some sample online and you can see the exact auto on photos. Plus you can tell by the dots on the signature.

Strange how real it looks. And then I was thinking 1993 is a long time ago, maybe they didn't have autopen stuff - but then i looked on wikipedia & the first one was made in 1803 haha

So, I googled it as you say & alot of the same autographs on her letter head is not hitting the same place as the one I have. Is there a reason for that? Just trying to brush up on my auto pen & preprint knowledge. Also if it was autopen would the autograph smudge?

Autopens can smudge and the signature can be placed absolutely anywhere on any flat item, such as a letter.

This is definitely an autopen. Oprah had only a few different ones and this is one of them.
