Topps Certified Auto Issue Questions

So I was looking at this box bundle through Topps.com. Where they send you a box set and it included up to 1 autographed card. I am looking at an example and this card does not look hand signed. I already have a Topps certified Kyle Schwarber and now I am wondering what this "Topps Certified Autograph Issue" actually means. Is the card itself actually hand printed by the athlete or was 1 card signed and then they machine print hundreds and thats the issue you get?

Good question. You should probably contact Topps to get the answer. Based on the photo the signature does look to be printed but that could just be the result of special pens being used.
The real card will have an authentic signature signed by the athlete. This looks like an early mock up.
This line bothers me: "and it included up to 1 autographed card".
"Up to 1" means either 0 or 1. I would rather that they guarantee there will be at least 1.
Sorry, I can post the link. This is what I was interested in. I am also not exactly sure what is included and what autograph or even if the autograph is real.

"Guaranteed to receive (1) numbered on-card autograph card per set purchased. All autograph cards are numbered to 99, 49, 25, 10, 5 or 1. Autograph Subjects will sign at each numbered tier. *Purchase 4 Sets and you are guaranteed to receive 1 Autograph Card of each Autograph subject."
I am sure they are real from that text.
I have contacted Topps to try and get a definitive answer. If it is a real autograph, I think the $84 would be worth it. Although, the player auto would be known. Could be cool.
Ya, I was just rereading the player subjects and I already have a Schwarber, don't really want a Bote. So I have a 50/50 chance of getting something I want in the Rizzo, Bryant. Not sure it is worth it. Thanks for the help everyone that replied
