Hanks in the past would usually just RTS everything. Several years ago, he began writing people back with letters typed on one of his antique typewriters, I guess for fun. He never signed what you sent, just the letter. Tom's style has been for some time to be very straight, thick letters such as this signed book of his.
Someone posted a 2020 TTM sent to Playtone that somehow got Australia wording, although Hanks was there to film until getting COVID so maybe a joke on his part. The signatures are a tiny "shift" from the style Hanks had been returning for many years but the personalizations are def Tom, you can tell by the A in "Jasmine."

But then there is this bookstore owner who received a letter from Tom just last year, in style that there is no questions about.

camnc123, yours doesn't match the consistent form that Tom has used for awhile now. Moreover, Tom has never been known to return sent items back signed, certainly not over the past decade. That being said, as I said to begin with, I can't recall the last time (if ever) that Tom used a ghost signer. So I'm torn on it, very skeptical.
Yeah I’m in the mindset. His signature is really inconsistent but the “Tom” part of his autograph matches others. The autographs look real, he seems like a really nice guy and not the kind to have a ghost signer, and I have received authentic successes from the address. On the other hand, I know he is busy flying back and forth from Pittsburgh and isn’t know for signing TTM. I wrote a really long and nice note so I am either really lucky or the are secs. The thing that sucks about TTM collecting is I’ll never know for sure. Thanks for the input!
