Sent: LOR, SASE and Dvd cover and insert 12/21/11

Received: Everything signed and inscribed along with a letter from his assistant in my SASE.

Address:
Jonathan Freeman
c/o Disney
214 W. 42
NYC 10036

After going over the note from his assistant, I noticed some similarities between her hand writing and “Jonathan’s”. So I did some research and comparisons this afternoon and have come to the conclusion that his autographs are very likely secretarial, but the inscriptions definitely appear to be. I have attached pictures of the autograph, the note from the secretary, and a comparison picture. Please let me know what you think. This does not look good. {down} :cry:

He signed 2 VHS covers and 3 trading cards for me last year - infact you've used my cards in your comparision haha. He also answered my Q&A cards quite fully so I totally believe mine are authentic but I sent to a different address I think than you so you could always try a different address! 8)

I used the address in the database. But was asked to use a different address nex time... I posted it on my original post. Your success came from the same place as mine, and the hand writting matches. So either they are secretarial or he and his secretary have similar hand writing.

Ah I sent to this address:

Jonathan Freeman
260 East 10th Street
Suite 12
New York, NY 10009
USA

but I think the address you listed was used as the return address on my envelope. He went into some depth on my Q&A cards and I don't think a secretary would really know the answers to those questions but I don't know. Also usually celebrities put the date in their autographs to decrease the value of their auto but why would a sec bother to do that if it's not real anyway?

I used the same address as you did! The secretary asked me to use the one I put down from now on. That is why I posted it there for anyone wanting to write him. One of the other users on here got a Q&A card answered in the secretary's hand! See the example I attached.

It matches perfectly. He's talking about my Q&A. It's in the secretary's handwriting.

I just went to check my Q&A cards and they look nothing like what Tabby received. It's written, not in block capitals, with a thin biro and the letters seem to match his autograph. I don't have a copy of them on my laptop but I will scan them in tomorrow and let you see. 8)
