I received 2 B&N books and, while I don't suspect any issues with this pen version at this time, im still going to return them. It looks like after fees and shipping, sellers are just hoping to get their money back on ebay. I don't know what their reasons are but I would think a return to the store would be the best option. It might send a message to the publisher that even if an autopen is only suspected, we won't stand for it?  I was on the fence with this purchase anyways and forgot to cancel my order

My two from B&N. Not Sharpie.

This is my Waterstones copy. Doesn't look like the other ones.

Still gathering examples and seeing what they show. Seems to be a pretty strong consensus out there that the abbreviated marker versions are secretarial. Since some of them are pretty close with only slight variation, I’m also looking for any evidence of mechanical involvement. 

Ultimately, it’s going to be up to the major authenticators if they are comfortable passing these (especially JSA via Premiere…I’ve seen a couple emails from Premiere that these are under review with their authentication partners). 

Also been working on getting the word out and reached out to a couple media contacts that I had from the Liza situation. I let them know about this and the Stallones. I received a positive response from one but not sure if a story is coming.

Hoping maybe the media will pick up on this and perhaps put some pressure on the publisher (which is, of course, Grand Central… same as Liza, Hayden Panettiere, Priscilla Presley).
