Real people write their own name typically by placing the pen to paper and writing in one continuous movement of the pen. An autopen machine on the other hand (sic) touches the paper with a single dot before the pre-programmed template can start; and then ends equally abruptly (with a visible dot) when the machine is raised above the paper. Even if you can't detect these dots readily with the naked eye, they become apparent when magnified. Davies, Hunter (1996). The Beatles (2nd rev.ed.). W. W. Norton.

As an album artist, Presley is credited by Billboard with the record for the most albums charting in the Billboard 200: 129, far ahead of second-place Frank Sinatra's 82. He also holds the record for most time spent at number one on the Billboard 200: 67 weeks. [411] In 2015 and 2016, two albums setting Presley's vocals against music by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, If I Can Dream and The Wonder of You, both reached number one in the UK. This gave him a new record for number-one UK albums by a solo artist with 13, and extended his record for longest span between number-one albums by anybody—Presley had first topped the British chart in 1956 with his self-titled debut.

Long before autopens had been in wide use, many vintage Hollywood stars were known to employ secretaries who were authorised to sign photographs and fan mail replies on their behalf. Frank Sinatra and Walt Disney are two examples where it can be sometimes difficult to establish provenance, especially in Mr. Sinatra's case recognising the wide variation of his signature across a long and illustrious career. Presley's funeral was held at Graceland on August 18. Outside the gates, a car plowed into a group of fans, killing two young women and critically injuring a third. [275] About 80,000 people lined the processional route to Forest Hill Cemetery, where Presley was buried next to his mother. [276] Within a few weeks, "Way Down" topped the country and UK singles chart. [277] [278] Following an attempt to steal Presley's body in late August, the remains of both Presley and his mother were exhumed and reburied in Graceland's Meditation Garden on October 2. [273] Cause of death Autopens will tend to apply consistent pressure of pen to paper resulting in a uniformity of stroke and "boldness" which would be hard to match by the human hand. Conversely you will sometimes see autopen errors e.g. when the paper is moved slightly or the machine is interrupted; in this case unexpected horizontal changes will be generated resulting in "jagged" line strokes which wouldn't normally be found in the real thing.

A signature on an original or a vintage object, like an album cover or a guitar, will be valued more than a signature on a regular object, like a sheet of paper.

The "Y" in Presley is always distinctive with a wide loop and different trailing characteristics depending upon presumably how rushed the signature or the amount of "clean" space on the document available.
