superletterfan wrote:Hi, for all those pictures i got, most of them from Autographworld, the others are from Ebay (those sellers put these items for very expensive price, i guess they are authentic). Sorry if there some bad examples.

One of the bottom two, i think i got it from Signingdreams's Ebay shop (a reputable UACC regiestered dealer). (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COLIN-FIRTH-SIGNE ... m153.l1262)

I know that this one looks like mail success. He claimed to get it in person, i think he could get it through mail and sell it as authentic. Some other dealers make the same mistake.

see this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Colin-Firth-signe ... 286.c0.m14

Clearly mail success, and the seller is "I am UACC Registered Dealer number 282 (Signed By The Stars) and AFTAL Approved Dealer #57. "

and

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Colin-Firth-St-Tr ... 286.c0.m14

He states: 'I am a member of the UACC as Alan Eady number 7552, and of The Autograph Council of Great Britain."
Thanks for that info, superletterfan! {thumb2} I can recognise the top autographs you've posted are from AutographWorld but the bottom half are all from eBay, but most look authentic anyways. {up} But the bottom 3 autographs are most definitly TTm, they match his secretarial TTM exactly. Unfortunately you can't be fooled by "in person" as many just claim it's ip to sell it better - there's quite a lot oof TTM autographs getting sold in eBay, but obviously not everything TTM is fake! But in Colin's case, I'm quite sure his are secretarial TTM. :(

Thanks,
zanne

wow this has had a lot of replies recently!
both people who say its authentic and people who say its secreterial put forward good arguments, so basically i still have no idea :P
i know its not likely and this is probably a stupid question but do you think there is any chance that he reads the letters sent or will they just be tossed away by the secretary?
thanks for your input everybody!

For this question, i guess big celebs will not read any fanmails, unless you wrote something really special, and can stand out from the crowd.
