The signatures all look identical. Does this seem like an autopen to you guys? He's not that popular of a coach, so I wasn't expecting him to do AP's if that's the case :/ Let me know your opinion!!

The VCU one not being "signed" in the white space would lead me to believe it's not authentic (although there are some people who deliberately do that if it's not personalized.)
You can check for yourself if they're AP. Make a scan or photocopy of the items, line the signatures up while holding it against a light source. If they line up exactly - although there can be a minor variation if the paper moved - they're autopen.

See, that's what I was thinking. It's weird to me that it wasn't signed there as well. I didn't know that trick; thank you! I'll have to do that next time I get a few autographs to put into the book.
Thank you for the reply, and the best of luck to you in future requests!
