One of mine does have the T crossed and one doesn't. The writing in both appears to be done by the same person. Does that mean both of mine are secretarial? And why would they be so careful to not cross one and yet cross the other. This doesn't make any sense.
Yes, I posted that authentic examples. You can't compare a full signature to a rushed one, that won't work as it is fully written out. But even that crossed "t" authentic example doesn't match up to the one Laetita received - her "t" is connected to the rest of the signature while the other one stands on its own. Also, just look at the handwriting, it is very unreadable almost and "flat letters". The "Regards" part matches very good with most successes received but it really doesn't look like the secretarial ones
at all. It's not just the crossed "t" which is very uncommon in Bale autographs, but the "Ch" looks squashed together and the whole "Bale" part too.
It simply looks unnatural, unlike all the other authentic successes and in person examples.
About your name being written similar on both photos, it could be possible that Christian just signs "Regards" and his signature and a sec personalises them, but I don't think that's true. Perhaps you could post your photos (or links to them) so I can help you more clearly, because I'm now just commenting on the links posted here in this thread. {thumb2}
