Chris Evans ("Fantastic Four")

Hi! 
I've been wondering about my Chris Evans autographs lately, I have two signed & personalised photos from him which I got on different occations. Here's the quick details:
First success:
Sent: 13 July 2007
Received: 5 September 2007
Scan:
Second success:
Sent: 30 August 2007
Received: 20 September 2007
Scan:
Now, the first success is all signed in the same marker. However, in the second autograph (black & white photo), it is clear that the personalisation was done in a different pen than the autograph itself.
So, it would seem obvious that Chris actually signed it but either later added the dedication himself (which seems to be a trend lately) or his secretary did it. :neutral: And what about the first autograph - it the whole thing authentic or secretarial?
I did some research myself, and here's some examples from AutographWorld.com:
As you can see, Chris signs either just his name or his name and surname, same as in my autographs.
But, notice the way he just signs "Chris" - the "h" is always sharp, it has a sharp point. But in my first success from him (the colour photo), it is very round and curly. And compared to my second success, that one has sharp lines (the b&w photo). :neutral: So this is what first made me think the dedication in my second autograph is sec, as it matches the first one (which I start to believe is secretarial). Then there's the round and curly lines in the first auto, but the b&w one looks authentic.
As far as I know, Chris does write in all caps, here's a very tiny pic to prove this (his autograph is the right one, and under his signature he wrote "HUMAN TORCH"):
I don't know for certain that Chris wrote the following, but the chances are good enough plus the handwriting looks very alike to the dedication on my photos:
I'd love to hear your opinions on this as I'm a but puzzled by it all. One moment I think both autographs are all authentic, the next I think just the signature on the b&w photo is real, so now I don't know anymore and I'd love to hear others' thoughts. {thumb2} If anyone can post other examples of Chris' autograph or handwriting, I will appreciate it very much! 
Thanks!
