Autopen is from a MACHINE.
PP is a copy.

Both are fake.
Britney Spears==>> 6 #1 albums. 2 diamond albums. 8 platinum albums. 400+ awards. 200M+ records sold. Britney has sold over 45 million records this decade despite only releasing three albums. Globally, Britney has more #1 singles than any other female artist except Madonna and Rihanna. "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney is the 5th best selling album of the 2000s decade worldwide. Britney is the only female artist to chart her first seven albums in the top two of the Billboard 200. Britney has achieved at least one #1 album in 3 different decades (90's, 00's, 10's). Britney is the first solo female artist from the 90's to reach 1 billion Spotify streams. Despite NOT even being a single, 'Tom's Diner', ft. Britney , has become Giorgio Moroders best-selling digital track. 2015 Billboard Awards ratings reached a 14-year high, with numbers peaking during Britney's performance. She IS the princess of Pop. Bow Down! #StayMadHaters

Pre print: the sig is IN the photo.
Can easily be spotted.

AP is on top of the photo like an authentic BUT there are DOTS whenever the pen stops from the machine.

There are dots @ the end of the autograph each time the pen stops. And some people are 100% that do send auto-pens. LOL! Some we just know. :lol:

Do you research on these forums, compare some "successes" from the same person. AP sig is always exactly the same, to the slightest details. (see Johnny Depp)

PP is printed together with photo and can easily be recognized, as it's not written over it. (see Daniel Radcliffe)
Favorite successes: Brian May IP, Marion Cotillard, Melanie Laurent, Emma Stone IP, Anna Friel, Lee Pace, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, David Suchet, Anneke van Giersbergen IP, Katie Melua IP, Scarlett Johansson IP, Tom Hiddleston IP, Colin Farrell IP, Sean Bean IP
Latest successes: Abbie Cornish, Tatiana Maslany, Rob Brydon, Imogen Poots, Eva Green, Anton Lesser, David Bradley, Heidi Range, Kate Mara, Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, Emilia Clarke, Ciaran Hinds, Geoffrey Rush, Iain Glen, Stephen Dillane, Pedro Pascal, Conleth Hill, Tom Wlaschiha, Karine Vanasse, Hayley Atwell, Rosamund Pike, Katie Melua IP, Judi Dench, Charles Dance, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Kerry Ellis IP, Brian May IP

An auto-pen is done by a device that records the signature and signs the photo the same way each time. The dots show where the printing stopped.

A preprint is essentially a photocopy of an autograph. The celebrity signs one copy and makes a bunch of photocopies of it. In that case, when you look at the photo, you can see that the signature is a part of the photo, not sitting on top of the photo as it should if it were signed with a real pen.
