Trump campaign selling autopenned hats

[Terrier8HOF]

same with the books. there are a few for sale on ebay now, being presented as authentic but they are all autopenned. You really have to dig deep in the ad to see it but that is how they are protecting themselves legally. Frankly, I do not understand why Mr. Trump could not sign them himself. I think its a great idea to raise money, but not under false pretenses.

That is such a good question.
The Trump autograph market will be forever clogged up now.

I remember reading something about the majority of requested autos from politicians are autopenned (especially the PREZ) as they simply don't have the time to sign everything they get asked for.

Not as true for 18th century , but I know a lot of modern president autos are autopenned.

100% true but the presidents are not selling them, they give away autopen sigs.
I have never seen auto penned sigs advertised and sold before. This is certainly a new one.

I have purchased "signed" books before through Barnes & Noble online and received autopen copies. (Sarah Palin). Also, Hillary Clinton used to do book "signings" in person at the store, but she wouldn't sign them there, only pass them out, and they were autopenned. (It Takes a Village books)

Never, ever, trust modern political signed books without doing due dilligence.

hmmm.... now I may be mistaken, but I recall there being some Obama signed stuff for sale during his initial prez run being sold (and it was all autopen stuff) to raise funds. signed posters, 8x10's...etc

might be wrong tho as it might have been sold 2nd hand or by vendors and not directly by the candidate's PAC or wtvr

Premier Collectibles has books by Trump and Hillary they they claim are hand signed and offer a guarantee. I had bought one of each at the beginning of the year. Am I wrong as I do not see anything there about autopenned?

The Trump books that I've seen from Premier have been legit in my opinion.

Please read my post again.
I said that presidents do not sell autopen stuff.
I made no mention of candidates.

The closest thing I've had is a Barbara Bush "autographed" book. Looked neat until I looked it up. Factory edition autopenned signature, and the key to it is that the autopenned version of the book has a different ISBN than the regular book.
