Authenticity is Everything
Autopen and ghost-signed thread
The "musician- direct" subforum is a great way to acquire autographs from artists we might never meet in person, but it's also a risk because you can never be 100% certain of the authenticity.
This thread is meant to keep a record and overview of confirmed autopens and those where serious doubts have been risen. (Limited to items discussed in this subforum)
This is a start, I'm open to suggestions. If there's no interest in a thread like this I'll remove it.

Keep 'em coming. I'm going to add all by year of release and will try to link to the relevant discussion on this forum, or another reliable source discussing the authenticity.

Hillary Clinton is a known (frequent) autopen aficionado:
During her time in office (Obama administration), the U.S. State Department would send autopen "signed" photos to residents who mailed a letter requesting an autograph to Washington. These include full name and "Hillary" styles. (https://autograph-market.com/isitreal/forgery-reference-database/it...)
(1993) "It Takes a Village" - used autopenned bookplates and (potentially) tip-in pages with autopen signatures. Covered previously on this forum. (https://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/hillary-clinton-aut...)
(2014) :"Hard Choices" - found to have used bookplates using known autopen styles ("Hillary" styles) Covered previously on this forum and other sites. (https://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/is-this-hillary-rod...) + Costco autopenned copies (Hillary signed some legit copies in-store, but these appear to be few and far between).
