It says limited edition. Is says signed as well! There is no number on the Bon Jovi website to how many it’s supposed to be! It does say limit to 4 per customer. If you noticed the picture of him “signing” the covers! The website even says it’s on art card insert! The picture they show of him signing them is a pure lie!

[@bwpippinmusic]

I bought one and it is signed along the white and black stripes on the road to the left of Jon. How do I know if it’s one of the real ones or is an auto pen. If it’s fake, I’m sending it back! I don’t need the CD, I haven’t used a CD in years!

[@brandyl2183]

The only time something signed is worth it to me is if I get the autograph from the artist myself. Other than that’s it’s just a signature. Who cares. It’s the experience of getting an autograph and that special moment with my favorite artist.

[@mariocirillo7910]

Much more meaningful to meet the artist, I agree.

[@taskmaster65]

Horseshit is not the word. The word is FRAUD!!!!

[@chrisrupe3244]

I received two of the autopenned art cards. I've contacted customer service and first they tried to say they were real then just sent me a return label. I've even offered to send them a self addressed stamped envelope with the autopenned art cards for them to send me legitimate ones. I want the CDs AND the real signatures I was told I'd receive. Hopefully we get some sort of resolution and not just a refund. Doesn’t look that way though.

[@JohnShirley-tt5zq]

Thank you for clarifying also that there were six different auto pens as the one my sister got, who is in Houston, was different than mine, so we decided the signature was ligit. Guess not, as ours were both in the black. :-( But, I won't return mine. What DOES BOTHER ME, I could not find ANYWHERE where the members of the band are mentioned. That really hurt me. I don't know how Jon let that get by! Maybe you can address that...or if I've just missed it, tell me where it is. Thank you.

[@nicolasmoyano2868]

It makes more sense now. He got rid of Richie, he will do what he wants. He always wanted to be a solo artist.

[@thomascope4248]

It was done to just sell records. To get a number one spot.

[@mariocirillo7910]

Aww shucks, thank you for your kind words. I’m a little shocked because Jon is usually a stand up guy. He should have just signed them, how difficult could that have been?

[@ryanloporto8798]

When I opened mine, it was obvious that it was not a real autograph even before I read about it. Disappointed, but not going to send the CD back.

[@jambogeordie]

This scam is becoming...Legendary!

[@gellargod]

I emailed them that i do not want a fake autograph. They sent me a return label and i sent it back.

[@thenatureboy11]

mick mars new signed cd and album...all good signitures , and good lp

[@frankhinterstocker7265]

I'll sign 'em for you. As Jon Wanted Bon Superman Tonight on the backside & Have a nice Francis it's me day on front. Just send me the copies. Female premium version comes with a massive silicon Richie Sambora girthmonster imprint. So everybody should be happy again

[@thomascope4248]

Big fan of bon Jovi but I think the songs on the albums are outtakes from the last few albums.

[@thenatureboy11]

jelly roll did autopen on signed White Chapel cd....have a letter from JSA

[@tammyjacobs2407]

mine is lower with a dotted i?

[@StevesRealReviews]

We already returned ours. $15 WHAT? We paid $54 for the Vinyl version with shipping and tax. Although the return process was easy, I had my return label in less than 24 hours.

[@gellargod]

Returned my cd as well

[@brandyl2183]

I hope all the resellers get stuck with a bunch of cds they try to price gouge fans with

[@darreylhenderson702]

Yeah, I hope those resellers don't end up price Gouging the fans who fall for it and don't know about the auto pen.

[@johnpatterson4272]

A condition of the coming AI run music business. Probably a hint Jon Bon Jovi is suitably finished with the performance part of his career. After-market sellers will take the biggest hit on this one.

[@brandyl2183]

Good. I hate after market scammers.

[@johnpatterson4272]

@@brandyl2183 We all do. They're shills for the kick-back that Livenation gets.

[@rodreeves8474]

I don`t know who would buy there album , they were done along time ago

[@thenatureboy11]

I won't resell fakes....and I am vocal about it

[@thenatureboy11]

I sent in 6 jon bon jovi into jsa....I am screwed...

[@gramos1020]

If the record company got greedy, how did they get a template of Jon's autograph, without Jon knowing.

[@aarongreer5473]

I as well purchased the "signed" copy of the new Bon Jovi CD. Saw it advertised on Spotify... $12.98 I think... and I thought... "a CD, signed by the man himself? I'll take it!" I also assumed that the COVER of the CD would be signed. It was not. It arrived as a signed insert that is slightly smaller than the size of the CD cover, and it is signed in a dark area of the insert... and the signature does seem a bit small. I do feel mislead by it and am somewhat disappointed. BUT... as you said Mike, the price was that of a normal CD, maybe even less. So, returning it is just not worth it if I have to pay to ship it back. But no, this what NOT what I thought it was. I'll know better next time. Oh well. Keep my $12.98 Jon.

[@GNewcomb-q9v]

The price is a dollar more on the Bon Jovi website. Still, I would send it back wanting a refund! Would never let them get away with taking my money for false advertising!

[@brandyl2183]

What the heck is an autopen?

[@jalexgonzalez76]

As I understand it, the signatures on the albums are made digitally so that a computer can print them on the album covers with a marker using templates through a robot. The big problem is that there are thousands of copies with these signatures and for a band to sign thousands it is impossible, and personal signatures can be differentiated by strokes that may be different, while with the autopen all signatures are mechanically the same. Here the big scandal is not for Bon Jovi, it is for the label because they charge you something expensive for real signatures, and what you receive in the end are copies signed in carbon by an autopen
