I‘m just so sad. I‘m not even a collector, just a Mariah fan. Was so happy when she offered these. As I’m in Germany mine did not arrive, yet. But I lost hope on getting real signatures. On EBay you find so many „hidden“ autopens. Some of them look very very good. As long as you find another one that looks exactly the same. 

I signed up to this site just to say thank you to everyone for your investigative work! Maybe someday I will be able to get a real autograph from Mariah.

So, in general, it seems like the blue pen ones are problematic, the black pens ones perhaps not so.

Green and blue are all fakes. But so are most of the black ones. There are way more than 3 different auto pens in the game. Have a look at these ones. Both are from the same seller. This is probably the best auto pen I’ve ever seen...

These arrived in the mail today.  Thank you for the heads-up on taking care when opening the packaging, the inserts were slightly creased, most likely from being pressed against the CD cases.  

I’m not sure what to make of these.  I’m not thrilled about the choice in pen (grey?), as the ink coverage broke up in places.  I found several examples here and on eBay with similar “M“ signatures, but because they seem very different from other signature examples, it has me thinking secretarial.  What are your thoughts?

100% autopen as they have the dots.

Thank you for the feedback.  It seemed too good to be true when I ordered.

Here’s mine from today. They all appear to be autopen as there are the dots at the beginning and end of each character.

I guess I got super lucky with mine.  Sorry for everyone that got the autopen.  I don't think I will be buying anymore of these signed CD's from any musician anytime soon.

I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on these.   I have one of her older, full name signatures on an early 8x10.  She has really shortened it up.
