Could you show us the picture with the autograph, please? Any envelope can be posted. I do not want to spend the money to send to that address and have it RTS. Thank you.

Can someone please PM me and tell me if it's real or not? I'm thinking about writing him, but I'm new to collecting and can't really tell if it's authentic. But please don't say it on here out of respect for the OP.

I no its real!

Thejoker- how do you "know its real".

Can someone please PM me and tell me if it's real or not?

PMed you the reasons and also moved this to the "Is My autograph authentic?" forum, where we can discuss authenticity of autograph.

The problem with Tom Hanks' autograph is that it is not hard to forge. I have looked at the OP's photo and have compared it with a authentic signatures signed by Tom Hanks from different enviorments (e.g. Rushed, Proper Signing event..).

Knowing Tom Hanks as a signer itself is enough to doubt the authenticity of this autograph (as he is well known for using secs). Looking at the signature you can tell Tom Hanks has changed secs- as it is different from previous Tom Hanks "success". However, a sec- it still is as it simply doesn't match his authentic autograph. Also, as it is signed by those silver markers, it is very easy to see "unjointed" and attempts to "rejoin" the words (Hank).

Therefore I am leaning towards it being a forgery.
