Author	Topic: Second opinion: Bill Anders autopen cover
astrobock Member Posts: 138 From: WV, USA Registered: Sep 2006	posted 09-08-2013 07:27 PM I recently purchased this cover as an autopen. It looks like an autopen to me at glance but looking closer I'm now wondering if it's not. I realize there are slight variations with paper movement when the autopen machines were in use, but I'm not convinced this is autopen. I would appreciate your opinion. Don't be quick to judge. Thank you.
