When comparing mine to the two at the bottom, mine matches with the bottom right autograph "extremely" well. The Colin on mine is almost identical, right down to the L that curves a little to the right at the top. And looking at the autgraph on the bottom left---what little I can make out of it--the B and E in Best are an "exact" match to mine, practically identical.
As so many are telling me he doesn't sign ttm I find myself questioning it, but upon making comparisons with those two on the bottom, they are so close as to be a perfect match.
I'm not trying to confuse the situation or say anyone is wrong, I'm just saying after closely comparing mine to those two they look the same as mine.
I sent vv and didn't receive a reply until after filming wrapped and he had returned to the UK. That made me immediately question it's authenticity. But if you compare some celebs IP to their ttm authentics you will see their IP is a scribbled mess and their ttm is more legible and defined. I'm not basing my opinion on that alone, by any means, but it can definitely be the case when trying to compare IP to ttm.
Comparing the one at the bottom right to the ones at the top, you'll see what I am saying. The ones at the top are very scribbled, and that one at the bottom has much more definition by comparison.
Hi nightowl!
The ones at the bottom is from eBay - now I'm not saying that immediately means it's forged but as Colin is such a famous celebrity, his autographs get forged a lot. Also, I'm
very sure those at the bottom which you're talking about was obtained
TTM - it happens very often on eBay!

Just yesterday I came across a Shia Labeouf "in person" autograph, which is
exactly the ones he send out TTM, even the Indy photo!! :mad: So don't be fooled by "in person", there's a lot of scammers out there, and definitly not just on eBay. {thumb2} So I recommend not to compare to those as it's very possible that they're obtained TTM (via his agnecy) and just claimed to be "in person". Rather look at my scans from AutographWorld, especially the personalised one - he was obviously not in a tremendous rush otherwise he wouldn't have personalised it, but still the autograph doesn't look a thing like his TTM.
So I'm still quite positive they're secretarial TTM, unfortunately.
Good luck,
zanne
