So I’m just starting this to help those still waiting on their orders or otherwise trying to sort out what they have. There are multiple autopen templates involved (see below). As of now, store is accepting returns for refund.

**Credit to AL member Sapphyre who first mentioned autopen and posted her example (on original thread). I was able to match it quickly to AL member R Buck’s, who also posted theirs early on. Thanks to both.

Thanks jimmy , these are from Amazon UK 🇬🇧 cheers man 

Both look pretty typical to me.

I read the original discussion last night, and I just read through this one.  I had no idea that this was happening.  You guys are awesome.  Keep up the good work.  For what it’s worth, the new album is pretty good.

what do you think, real or autopen?

Looks good to me 

Bought two a while ago and just now seeing all of the back and forth here. I'm thinking I'm good, any thoughts from anyone else? This insert is sealed in the packaging of the cd.  

Hey John Chase

Yours looks good to me. It ticks most of the boxes, I still like it although you say the insert was sealed in the packaging of the Cd. It would be great if your Art Card was "glued" on to the CD outer shrinkwrap with Fugitive/tacky glue.

I posted this before but I will again to help you and others

who may be questioning their BJovi autographs:

*THE BON JOVI FOREVER AUTOGRAPH AUTENTICATION CHECKLIST*:

Here's a checklist I've created and compiled (with help from everyone here on this site's observations).

 Hope it helps as it seems to work to Authenticate these:

1. Was Purchased from UK, (preferably Amazon UK, imported from and has a Made in Germany sticker on back of CD).

2. Art Card is packaged outside the CD (CD itself is still sealed in original shrink wrap)

Art Card is NOT inserted inside the shrink wrapped CD.

3. Art Card is "glued" on to the CD outer shrinkwrap with Fugitive/tacky glue.

4. Art Card is about the same size as the CD cover and is NOT the much smaller variation of the insert card.

5. Autograph is signed in the top Left hand corner

6. Autograph will "flow" like a natural and real signature should :)

7. Autograph will obviously have no signs of dots/autopen throughout the entire signature.

8. Obviously autograph will NOT match any known exemplars of the Autopen shown on this site!!!

Hope this helps, Jimmy

I really appreciate your effort in putting this list together - honestly.

But:

If a checklist is required to check whether a purchased (!) autograph is real or fake - then I'm no longer interested in the product, the artist and, at least temporarily, in the hobby of collecting signed music products.

Thanks Jimmy! I bought from Amazon UK, I think we’re in the clear with this. Happy to have in my collection. 

Hey Jimmy, you forgot to mention the signed art cards from the Bon Jovi UK website.

I was told in the RACC Facebook Group that they are legitimate.

 

Hi  Yony Mark

 Actually I said that in my first check point:

"Was Purchased from UK, (preferably Amazon UK, imported from and has a Made in Germany sticker on back of CD)."

"Purchased from UK" does include the Bon Jovi UK website.

Yours is fantastic by the way, the real deal for sure :)

Best to you Yony!
