Recordstore are fraudsters so i wouldnt be surprised if they are autopenned 

Recently lost 3 PayPal claimbacks for items arriving not signed from recordstore - record store proved they sent me signed items - when they bloody didn't - record store and PayPal are thick as thieves and both fraudulent !

They are sealed and clearly numbered x/800 on the back.

Simply impossible for Recordstore to autopen this. They couldn’t even see what’s inside. 
So relax...:-)

auto penning happens by the label not by who sells it..

I got one too but I keep it sealed.

I’m quite sure they are NOT autopenned.

Look for example to this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/Badly-Drawn-Boy-Banana-Skin-Shoes-Ltd-Numb...

Looks different than yours.

And yes the only thing you can say is that it should be advertised where the signature would be. But I always do a little research, these were all over the place on eBay and I knew they were signed inside.

I can’t say I’ve ever had anything autopenned from recordstore - but then how do we really know if any are real! I just had loads of things not signed at all from recordstore  or a signed print/ card arrives when it was advertised as a signed LP.....

I don’t really understand your question.

You never know an autograph is real unless you saw it signed in front of your eyes.

I’m 99,99% sure the autographs I get from recordstore are all real. Never had an item that looked off from other genuine examples. They also sell a lot that is at the same time sold at the artists official website. They are just passing the items through, I don’t think they have a master forger in their offices :-). Or maybe the forger was on holidays when you ordered ;-).

I looked at 5 sold versions on eBay, all different. So, not autopenned.
