alrighty, so i received a response from Shia in about 10 days
but i'm very confused as to authenticity
i'm definetely no autograph expert, so i was wondering if could get some help

the autograph i got does not seem to match the previous few responses before mine
these seem more neater, and were received about 2 weeks before mine;

here's mine, which looks a little messier/rushed;

the theory about his autograph from some people is that he signs a bunch of pictures ahead of time to be mailed
however, my picture came with another picture stuck to it, unsigned;

thus making me believe what i received might be secretarial
but like i said, i'm no where near an expert, so i have no idea
maybe he was in signing some and didn't realize there was one stuck?
however a secretary could have done that too =/

anyone have any thoughts?
thanks so much

I recieved a Shia success last year and I'm still not sure if it's a sec or an authentic .

Hi maltachic!

I recommend that you visit the link Ejm1059 posted. Remember, Shia/his secretary pre-signs a bunch of photos so eithre of them could've got the unsigned photo stuck accidently at the back of your autograph. But, I just want to add, all recent feedback, since "he" started sending out that Indy photo and now the "Eagle Eye" one looks very much secretarial to me. Back in 2007, it was clear to see that some autographs were signed by him and others by a secretary - some had the charateristics of authentic ones while others, such as the recent feedback, just plain looked off. For a clearer discription, visit the link. {thumb2}

Hope this helps!

thanks for the help guys
i checked that one link about his autograph before i posted this, i'm just not sure though =/
his autogaph is one of the hardest to tell authentic wise, i guess we'll never really know unless we meet him

True, but you really can't deny the big difference between his recent TTM ones and his in person autographs. :neutral: To me, there's absolutely no question the about the Indy photos and "Eagle Eye" ones - secretarial, period. That's why my comparison in that link is helpful - you can compare to the in person ones I've posted and I gave detailed characteristics about his autograph, and none of that matches recent feedback posted.
