Gene Autry--real, fake, or secretarial

I picked this up at a weekend estate sale for next to nothing.  It sold at the end of the auction and most everyone had left.  Does the signature look legit?  

Thanks in advance!

Baseguru, Up front I will tell you I have not a single Autry in my collection. Over the past few days after checking for sale and sold on the net, I think yours is printed, or fan mail. Autry was very popular back in his day and had no problems selling and sending items with printed signatures. He also signed many authentic autographs on top of the printed items.

Baseguru - I followed up on David Lewis' thought that this may be printed and found this item on Worthpoint.  Looks to be a printed inscription and signature on a magazine.  Hope this helps.
