Some friends at JSA. I get the sense there is a bit of sceptaeism that it is authentic. Does anyone have a specific reason for that besides the fact he rarely signs letters? Does anyone have a matching auto pen example or other explination?
I wrote a very targeted and specific letter that I've sent several times over the past couple of years expressing some concerns with the changes being brought by the Affordable Care Act. I did receive a follow up as well from an agency based in Texas.
The letter was also sent from the White House in a UPS overnight envelope. I've received several Responses from my previous letters and they were sent via standard mail and were indeed auto pens. I try to keep up to date on Obama auto pens as I've been looking for an authenticly signed TLS from the President for years. I've just never been able to afford one. RR sold one at auction a few weeks ago for $3660.
Any real input to show that it is not an authentic, hand signed example will definitely disappoint for sure, but would still be respected and appreciated.
Perhaps I should have posted in authenticity opinions instead based on the reaction I have received.

Yes - he had the opportunity to purchase what may be a one-of-a-kind U2 item so I got lucky and was able to acquire this. Look good together, don't they :).

Great thanks Paul. I am nearing the end of my buying - have been able to do far more than I originally intended and am running out of wall space. About the Sting piece. I had the opportunity to buy two of these, mint condition. I framed one and the other is on ebay right now. I sent both to PSA and they were approved with upgrade to full letter. Take a look if you have a moment. I'd be interested in a trade for your Billy Joel if that would be of any interest to you. You know my last name, which is in my ebay ID, so you'll be able to find it.
