Authenticity is Everything
Ronald Reagan signed or auto pen?
Hello. I bought this Reagan photo at a fleamarket last summer. I am very new at auto collecting. I've seen a few similar photos selling on a few collector sites but question if they are legit. Either way, this is a nice wall hanger for my man cave. Thanks for your time in advance.

Hi - Regrettably, this was signed by an Autopen machine. It is not hand signed. Sorry!

No problem! Thanks for the response! I just found some really good autopen examples that are spot on with mine. I figured as much. I can't believe the sites out there that are selling similar photos as authentic.

Yep, they do it all the time. And when you send them a message telling them that their offering is autopen-signed, they will swear up and down that they are certain it is authentic.
If yours were authentic, you'd be looking at probably roughly a $1000 (or more) item. A Reagan cut signature is worth at least around $600 or so I would say. So a signed photo is going to be likely several hundred more.
But yes...it's autopen. You can tell by the shakiness of the autograph. It definitely makes a nice addition to your man cave, though! Plus, keep in mind that your Reagan photo likely originated from the White House. I have one of these too...like yours that my mother received from the White House in the 80s because she was very active in the Republican Party.
