TTM= Through The Mail

Alright, thanks. I figured that about the Arnold photo. How should I go about getting the Nixon one confirmed? Are there signature verification companies that do them online, or do I have to go somewhere to get that done? And how much does it usually cost? Sorry about all the noobish questions, like I said, I'm brand new around here :D

(Also, I have yet to find out what TTM stands for ;-) )

The Arnold photo and letter to my knowledge are both pre prints. He hasn't been known to send authentic of any kind TTM. As for your Nixon it is tough to tell. He has a very easy signiture that can be faked. But it is a great iteam non the less

Hello all! My name is Jimmy, and I'm a first-time poster to these forums.

I'm not a diehard autograph collector, but I do have one that is of quite some interest to me. I have a business that was given to me by my grandmother. It says "Vice President of the United States of America", and signed below it in blue ink is Richard Nixon. The only thing I know about it is that my grandma said a friend of hers gave it to her (I don't know if her friend personally obtained it, however), and now good ol' grandma has given it to me! The signature is most definitely hand-signed (although it is a bit hard to tell that in the scan I attached), but how can I know if this was personally signed by "Tricky" Dick Nixon himself? Also, if this piece is indeed real, how much would you estimate it to be worth? The only place I've looked is on eBay, and I've seen some Nixon signatures ranging from a couple hundred dollars up to 1.5 thousand. But I've yet to find a signed business card from his vice Presidency.

Here's a link to the card:

Also, a few years back, I mailed a request for an autograph from Arnold Schwarzenegger, and received a standard portrait, with an attached letter (on California governor stationery) saying something (I don't remember exactly what) very generic that obviously gets sent to everybody that asks for autograph that concluded with "here's a photo to add to your collection". The picture is clearly signed in pen, but does anyone know if Schwarzenegger is known for sending secretarial or auto pen signings? Something to add is that a few months later, my friend sent a request, and received a letter, but the one they got was obviously printed, not signed. I don't know if that is significant at all.

Any information on either of these two things is much appreciated!
Thank you!
