Yes, I was aware that his agency replies were secretarial but I didn't think he would go so far as to send his vv requests back to his agency to get his sister to sign them. That was why I deliberately avoided sending to the agency but tried him VV.

I have to say I am extremely disappointed. How many people send to VV anyway? Is it really so many that they can't take a few minutes to sign them?

I was just reading on some web page---don't know who came up with this info---that Travolta is on the list of ten best signers. They obviously aren't referring to VV! Or ttm. And Will Ferrell was on the list of ten worst signers!

This last VV response from Mr. Ferrell has been the best I have seen yet. He has really gone out of his way on this one. He is reading the letters and commenting on them in his inscriptions, sending extra copies of his own photos and personalizing each one to each kid in the family, sending little bags of almonds along as a joke to match the inscription. He is the best signer I have seen so far.

Maybe they were referring to him in person. But I have a really hard time believing that someone that is so extremely awesome in his responses ttm would be the complete opposite in person. It just doesn't gel.

Yes, I was looking at a LOT of his IP on the net and the end of Travolta is more loopy. The loops having a very horizontal appearance. The end of Travolta in mine matches his sister's extremely well. I have even come across an autograph that looked exactly like the way his sister signs Travolta except for the T at the beginning. It was exactly the same! Unbelieveable! And people are selling these as authentic. All people have to do is compare it to IP and the difference is obvious. Even taking into account that IP can be abbreviated and rushed it's still is obvious it's not the same.

I agree completely! If he's too busy to sign then okay, don't. Yes I'll be disappointed but that's all part of collecting. If you are going to send something don't make it a secretarial. Send a PP, or AP. I wouldn't want those either, but at least they aren't a fake autograph, they are copies of HIS autograph.

I'm thinking the secretary may have taken the pen-name Travolta to make herself look like she's related to John, in order to make people she's replying to think she's 'official'.
