Here is what I have come up with, based on what I have observed:
When people first started reporting successes from the play, the autographs received matched
very closely to his IP ones - more closely than any other autograph received through the mail from Mr. Williams by anybody that I had ever seen previously. More recently, his current address - the one located in Belvedere-Tiburon, CA. - seems to be yielding a string of very bad attempts at his IP autograph. The autographs received from the Belvedere-Tiburon, CA. address (before he started the play) I have seen postmarked from New York, even though a California address is the return address. These do not look like naturally-flowing signatures, either. They look like the signature of somebody attempting to copy very closely the signature of another person.
The autographs from him received by people at the very beginning of the play were most likely authentic. It's quite possible that it got to be too much for him to handle, and left the task to the Belvedere-Tiburon, CA. address person to complete for him. When I received my autograph from him back from the play, it did not have the California address stamped in the upper left-hand corner of my SASE, and looked very much like the IP ones. Or I just got lucky, as I saw somebody send to him in care of the play in March, who got an autograph that looks like the Belvedere-Tiburon, CA. ones, whereas other people who sent to him in March and April got ones that were very likely real.
So, in my opinion, the ones coming out since late April/early May from the play are unauthentic. Feel free to ask me any questions about my explanation.
