Raging Debate of the Autopen

What happens when an athlete or entertainer is paid big money for their autographs?  What happens when these are inserted into a product that advertises their autographs and people pay big money for them?  It is well known in celebrity autograph collecting circles that "secretarial" autographs have been a thing for many years.  There are many well known examples of family members signing as well, especially for some very desirable rare signers such as "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.  It's been a big deal recently as well, when some high profile athletes have been found having their mom or cousin or other family member sign for them.  Some of these cases were so visible that the companies were forced to allow for exchanges of the forged "auto"graphs.

Nowadays, why even bother having someone sign stuff for you when you can just get a machine to do it for you.  Introducing the AUTOPEN.  Panini released the Country Music set to little fanfare, but it did have some big name signers in it.  One of the larger "gets" was Florida Georgia Line.  Now, this set had a lot of sticker autographs.  A lot.  And someone noticed that all the FGL autographs were very similar.  Too similar.  Like identical.  Across hundreds, if not thousands of copies of these stickers.  This did not sit well with people.  I had already bought my dual autograph for my collection and it did not sit well with me either.

Of course, nothing came of any of this.  They got away with their transgressions with a minimal amount of ranting and raving on the internet.  There was no recourse from FGL or from Panini.  What is to stop people from doing this in the future?
