Help on Arnold Palmer authenticity please

[skinsfan0521]

So, I got this in today. I sent an 8x10 (this photo) and a 5x7. I got the 5x7 back unsigned and this on signed. To me, it looks like an AP, but I can't tell. Looks like it has the "dots" from the AP and the pen pressure doesn't seem to vary.

So, can you help me out. Anybody have opinions on if this is authentic or AP?

Thanks!

I got one awhile back and thought the same thing. Looks like an autopen to me.

Only things that make me think that it's real are:

Only one of my photos was signed. Don't you think that if it was an AP, they would've just put both pictures in it?

On another site, somebody got one back the same day as I did and the signature is definitely slightly different. So, it's possible that he's got multiple AP templates, but I haven't heard that before.

Can you compare your signature with mine to see if they're exact or slightly different?

Thanks!

I have gotten these TTM. The British Open one I had GAI cert'd...for whatever that is worth and that auto looks very similar to yours. The others are obvisously different. What address did you use? I have seen a couple autopens from the Bay Hill address. Try the PA address I used if you have not already tried. Hope theses pics help.

Ok, yours definitely look different than mine, but the one on the card looks the most similar. I did send to the Bay Hill address, so it could be an AP. Like I said, it looks like an AP to me, but comparing it to another one that somebody else got the same day, it's different. And both of my photos weren't signed. If it were an AP, there would be no reason to only "sign" one.

I don't know... like I said I'm skeptical. lol

Also, that first pic of yours looks like there are "dots" where he started and stopped some words and things. So, if that's just how he writes, that's ok. That's what has me most concerned about mine. AP "dots".

Mine is identical to yours except they used a thicker sharpie...I think it's an autopen.

first off, Im NO expert & thats a fantastic looking auto but, the way it is signed it almost looks like autopen to me. The "dots" at the start of the A & start of the P dont look right.

look at MMalpedo01 pics, those sigs have no dots, crisp clear signature. but again, im no expert.. JMO

[skinsfan0521]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's an AP. I'm going to reprint the photo and send to the PA address that was mentioned earlier and is in the TTMM.

Hopefully I can get an authentic that way.

Thanks for the help and suggestion to send to the PA address.
