My picture was personalized, and the personalization is clearly written with the same sharpie (same strokes in the lettering), so I'm pretty sure it's not an autopen.
If the celeb/athlete wants to go through the trouble... Autopen machines can be programed with different matricies to write all kinds of personalizations, or write the celebs/athletes name with slight variations.
Some imes, the name will be AP and the personalization will be written by a secretary.
You are correct though, some of the older/cheaper AP machines do leave that dot when the marker starts and stops a new letter/word.
But if all those Burtons are the exact same size, with no variations in the writting, they are clearly AP. No human on earth could write there name half a dozen times 100% the exact same way.
