I'm starting to be slightly skeptic as to the authenticity of his TTM autos. I received
my photo signed from his agency not too long ago (and was concerned at the time, too, as you can see). I've been doing a bit more digging since, and found
this VV success,
this VV success, and
this IP. Compare this with my photo, plus basically any other TTM you can find.
Here's another example. The handwriting seems mostly similar, but there is a consistent different in the
fs. TTM they loop downward from the right, but IP and VV he starts them from the left. Also in the TTMs, the
t consistently cuts straight down through the
S and bisects it. IP and VV it varies.
I think Stephen Fry is amazing, and want desperately for these to be authentic, but I'd rather get to the bottom of this and know for sure either way. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Okay, now I've seen
this. If all his autographs were sec, they wouldn't bother with that little note, would they? And it's not like they're sending out secs because he's out of the country, because his TTM handwriting has been the same for some time.
Now I'm torn.
