Thank you for the help, wheniam6 and guilder1st. {thumb2} And thanks for the scan, guilder1st - that one looks similar to my colour photo, the "Ch" part. {up} I'm glad to hear the autograph on the b&w photo matches your in person one, so I can at least be very sure of that one! :D

The black and white autograph looks a lot like the one I got in person from him, looks authentic to me. And as for the color one I think it's is authentic also.
Here's another example of Chris's autograph for you to compare with.

Although it looks slightly more rushed then yours. The characteristics are the same.

though i am not an autograph expert i think they are authentic from the information you gave us. also, he has no history on secretarial autographs/inscriptions.

Hi! ;-)

I've been wondering about my Chris Evans autographs lately, I have two signed & personalised photos from him which I got on different occations. Here's the quick details:
[u]First success:[/u]

Now, the first success is all signed in the [b]same marker[/b]. However, in the second autograph (black & white photo), it is clear that the personalisation was done in a different pen than the autograph itself. :? So, it would seem obvious that Chris actually signed it but either later added the dedication himself (which seems to be a trend lately) or his secretary did it. :neutral: And what about the first autograph - it the whole thing authentic or secretarial?

I did some research myself, and here's some examples from [url=http://www.autographworld.com][b]AutographWorld.com[/b][/url]:

As you can see, Chris signs either just his name [i]or[/i] his name and surname, same as in my autographs. {up} [i]But[/i], notice the way he just signs "Chris" - the "h" is always [b]sharp[/b], it has a sharp point. But in my first success from him (the colour photo), it is very round and curly. :? And compared to my second success, that one has sharp lines (the b&w photo). :neutral: So this is what first made me think the dedication in my second autograph is sec, as it matches the first one (which I start to believe is secretarial). Then there's the round and curly lines in the first auto, but the b&w one looks authentic. {up}

As far as I know, Chris [i]does[/i] write in all caps, here's a [b]very[/b] tiny pic to prove this (his autograph is the right one, and under his signature he wrote "HUMAN TORCH"):

I don't know for certain that Chris wrote the following, but the chances are good enough plus the handwriting looks very alike to the dedication on my photos:

I'd love to hear your opinions on this as I'm a but puzzled by it all. :? One moment I think both autographs are all authentic, the next I think just the signature on the b&w photo is real, so now I don't know anymore and I'd love to hear others' thoughts. {thumb2} If anyone can post other examples of Chris' autograph or handwriting, I will appreciate it very much! :)

Thanks!
