Here is an authentic one, you can see how the handwriting and the signature look totally different:

I'm sorry but I don't think a mother handling fan mail automatically translates into she signs the pictures.
Perhaps she opens all the envelopes, processes letters, sends pre-signed for those requesting them and puts aside pictures sent in for him to sign?
I know there has been alot of fierce debate over Bradley though

I just don't think it should be assumed that "handling" means signing secretarial.
I understand! He was just quoted in an article once a while back stating that he has really bad handwriting so his mom handles his mail. To me, that translates to her signing them. And also because his IPs don't look like his TTMs. And I think that the handwriting on the inscriptions looks more feminine. As you can see in the example I posted, which was obtained by someone VV in 2008, the handwriting is completely different and so is the sig.
You're right, there is a lot of debate about his signature and I am not about forcing anyone to believe me. This user asked for input and I gave some, but I am not an expert. I just don't believe in the phrase, "If I think its real, its real." I would want to know if I had a fake autograph in my collection. It is up to each individual to decide what they think!
