The whole spacing is off in regards to length and fullness of the signature. Paying particular attention to the 'D' in both Dick and Dyke - his real signature is more flowing.

The more I look at it, the more I don't like it. Sorry - wish I could be convinced otherwise.

Awww what a shame :( What are the other small mistakes?? I think that in the picture I've uploaded of Dick signing, you can see he leaves a gap in the D of the surname, but I'm not sure, it's sideways and you can't really tell :(

Hi guys!
I just got a reply back from Dick Van Dyke, and I wanted to make sure it isn't a secretarial autograph :-| .
I am a huge fan of Dick, but I know he isn't an easy signer TTM :roll: ,so on early January 2016, I decided to send him my letter Via-Venue, to a place where he was giving a concert on January 16th.
I didn't send him an ordinary letter; I sent him a large package, which included:
my fan letter, a SASE, a picture and two small gifts I bought for Dick (a postcard with a note on the back, and a fridge magnet).
I know (because of the post website) that my package got there on time.
I was a bit surprised during the following weeks because I wasn't getting a reply :( , but today (February 24th 2016) I got my reply. [ugotmail]
I got back my picture signed in blue ink. He only signed it, and didn't include his usual:
"Hi (whoever)!, God Bless!" dedication.

So now my main doubt (other than why has it taken so long :roll: ) is that if the autograph is authentic or not. :-| So please, say whether you think it's authentic, or a sec.
Thank you! And no nasty comments please!!

These are two photos of Dick Van Dyke signing; if you look closely, I think that his autographs resemble mine (What do you think? :? ):
