Christian Bale through the mail

[pongo955]

Hey, I have seen a lot of successes from Christian Bale vai his publicist, and was wondering what everyone thought of those. Real or sec?
Thanks!

Examples show that his in-person autograph matches right up with the ones I & many others have gotten TTM. {thumb2} In other words, There REAL.

Some look very much authentic, others really don't, you can't give a generalisation for him, some are, some aren't, simple as that really!

Andy is 100% correct here, some successes seem authentic while others are secretarial. Here's two examples of successes from him - one authentic and the other most likely secretarial:
Authentic success
Secretarial success

See . . . now I don't know if both of mine are real, or both are secretarial. They both match extremely well, except for the T. Whoever wrote the one, also wrote the other, as everything matches---my name, the C, H, the Bale.

Are you saying there has "never" been an IP with a crossed T?

Now I'm curious . . .

I have never (so far) seem him crossing his "t" in "Christian". Also, if you look at the supposedly secretarial autographs, there's a big difference in the "Regards" part too. I guess his secretary just writes the names similar to the way Christian does, but it's obvious the TTM successes are signed by two different people, one being Christian.

That's interesting, because the thread that initially posted a comment questioning authenticity did put in three examples of what they claimed to be authentic and one of them did have the T clearly crossed.

One of mine does have the T crossed and one doesn't. The writing in both appears to be done by the same person. Does that mean both of mine are secretarial? And why would they be so careful to not cross one and yet cross the other. This doesn't make any sense.

Yes, I posted that authentic examples. You can't compare a full signature to a rushed one, that won't work as it is fully written out. But even that crossed "t" authentic example doesn't match up to the one Laetita received - her "t" is connected to the rest of the signature while the other one stands on its own. Also, just look at the handwriting, it is very unreadable almost and "flat letters". The "Regards" part matches very good with most successes received but it really doesn't look like the secretarial ones at all. It's not just the crossed "t" which is very uncommon in Bale autographs, but the "Ch" looks squashed together and the whole "Bale" part too. It simply looks unnatural, unlike all the other authentic successes and in person examples.

About your name being written similar on both photos, it could be possible that Christian just signs "Regards" and his signature and a sec personalises them, but I don't think that's true. Perhaps you could post your photos (or links to them) so I can help you more clearly, because I'm now just commenting on the links posted here in this thread. {thumb2}
