I agree with Jimmy -- these don't appear to be autopens.

The STS-107 autopen patterns can be seen here:

They appear authentic in every way. The seller also is offering a nice STS-107 "crew patch" cacheted cover also signed by five of the seven. IMO, these two items give collectors a good opportunity to own an impressive item signed by the majority (5 of 7) of the STS-107 crew at a price that might be 1/3 what a complete item would sell for.

The third item has the signatures of all the STS-107 astronauts. The starting price in my opinion is just way too high. I would have started it low and let collectors determine the price. But the items are impressive and must haves.
