Just bc a TPA wont authenticate them, doesnt mean theyre not real. Yes, anyone, including Kanye, could have made that scribble. It doesnt mean that he didnt.
TPAs make gross errors all the time. I think youre over-reacting, personally.

They authenticate his scribble all the time. Just because it was a mass release doesn't mean they treat it differently. It sucks to lose money twice, but hope others can save and don't bother trying to authenticate it.

I really like the album, so it's a bummer he probably hired a bunch of interns to scribble a bunch of A's on inserts and covers. Really thought SoFi cover was at least authentic.

I think they gotta be fake... Last I looked he was still selling like a dozen different colors of signed vinyls. Unless hes fallen off, as far as number of fans go,  drastically, which I'm sure has happened at least some since he came out with the diamond swaztika chain lol... but I dont see Kanye sitting around signing autographs all day long to fulfill all those orders. But maybe I'm wrong.

Anyone thinking these had a chance to be authentic autographs were only fooling themselves.

I thought maybe the first vinyls/cds were real since they sold out fairly quick... but when he put them back up for sale in seemingly unlimited quantities in all the colors, I realized these were pretty much certainly fake. Especially with the signature being something anyone can do.

They dont really have the signs of being autopen, and I haven't investigated these very closely, so what I say doesn't mean much... but the pen pressure doesn't seem to change on the ones I've seen. Maybe he got a better quality autopen machine that doesn't leave dots? I always meant to look more into it but kinda spaced it off. By now there has to be technology to make autopens more undetectable I'd think... and with these artists making hundreds of thousands off selling autopen crap, theres probably enough money in it to make it worth figuring out, so they dont have to deal with returns and fans complaining when they sell this junk. 

But at minimum they almost have to be secretarial. Kanye is the last person I would see sitting around signing things for hours a day... or caring about fans for that matter... but just my opinion. Sucks he upcharged for them too.

And hes obviously got plenty of fans still considering he's filling stadiums at his shows. So I don't think there'd be such low sales that his signed albums would sit there in stock this long.

On the bright side it looks like they're selling on ebay for almost half the price as his website so at least they can be picked up a little cheaper by anyone who feels they're real.
