Hi michael243!
I am very sure that it is authentic signed by Rafael himself.
I have never come across a secretary signing an already preprinted photo, that seems very illogical to me.
Why would anyone want to sign a preprint? It already has an autograph on it, regardless if it's authentic or not!
Also, the fact that it is not only personalised with a message, but also "resigned", means that it is authentic. A secretary would usually add inscriptions on preprints, but never sign it too.
The handwriting is Rafael's, it matches to that on the preprint. {thumb2} Lastly, it seems it's a hit-and-miss with Rafael TTM, he mostly sends out preprints (same as your photo), but I've seen some authentic ones, like yours, from him too but that's very rare.
Good luck,
zanne
