I noticed that with the Hillary Clinton books too. They all seemed to look a little different but parts were nearly identical. Never saw a 100% match but I was suspicious of those books.

What I find interesting is Bill Clinton did a couple of authentic signed books with James Patterson (and interestingly the first book they did together had autopen Patterson but authentic Clinton). So I must ask, why do the First Ladies do autopen on their books but the Presidents (usually more desirable) appear to be authentic?

Don't celebrities sign possibly hundreds of individual pages that are later inserted into the book?

Yes, some do, but unfortunately others have those pages autopen (Dolly Parton and Bob Dylan come to mind) or ghost (secretarial) signed such as Drew Barrymore and Whoopi Goldberg. It’s still yet to be confirmed if Michelle Obama is indeed autopen (no exact matches found but suspicious because Beckett, PSA and JSA have failed all her Becoming Deluxe signatures). However Barack Obama’s have been known to be authentic in A Promised Land deluxe edition and Renegades deluxe edition. Beckett, PSA and JSA authenticated Barack’s but not Michelle’s. Weird. Need more information about this.
