What's the difference between PP, Autopen, and secretarial?

Sorry guys - I saw there was a topic already about this, and I forgot what they meant (again) and now I can't find the topic . Please may someone either send me a link, or post it again?

Thanks,
Anna

PP - A preprint is simply a photographic copy of an original signed photograph. On a preprint, the signature often appears to be below the surface gloss of the photo and the signature is often very "flat." To test, hold the photo up at an angle to a light.

AutoPen - The Autopen is a machine which signs an autograph in the celebrity's handwriting

The process of creating an autopen signature is as follows--a celebrity signs his name once on a sheet of paper, and a pattern or template is created for the machine at the Autopen company. When the template is installed, the Autopen machine is then able to recreate the autograph. The item to be "autographed" is inserted under the arm, the motor is turned on, and the pen moves according to the matrix design

Secretarial - A secretary for the celeb forges his/her name

Welcome to the forum dramalicious!

As whitemandcw has explained, basically, they are all non-authentic autographs.

You can read more about this in the Is My Autograph Authentic? forum.

Happy collecting! {thumb2}
