no, they are not real. They are similar to you printing a picture off of the computer with a signature on it. Preprints are just copies of a signature.

Hi ruffy :D

PP are simply "copies" of a signed photo (like if you were photocopying an autographed photo). Here, a celebrity will sign one photo. Someone will then take this photo and make multiple copies of the same signed photo. Each PP will be exactly the same, with the autograph in the exact same position.

Autopens (AP) are where a machine signs them. In this case, a celebrity will sign their name which is transferred to a matrix for the AP machine to copy. Photos are then placed in the machine and the machine will sign the autograph on the photo.

SFM sends out PP or AP photos. No celebrity will sign 1000 copies for SFM to send out.
