Stephen Colbert Success

Sent LOR, Photo, and SASE to the address in the database. Received a different photo back today signed. Dedication may be secretarial. Signature shines at the same angle as dedication under light, separate from photo. Examined under high light with my jeweler's loupe and both signature and dedication show consistent color of silver with background showing through. Think it's a pre-signed photo, but definitely legit.

Address Used:
Stephen Colbert
c/o The Colbert Report
513 West 54th Street
New York, NY 10019

Think the most likely outcome is autopen.

With an Auto-pen machine you place a real pen in a machine that then replicates a pre-programmed signature over and over again.

You can actually see the vibrations of the machine in his signature and the 'stay strong!' The dedication is secretarial and obviously written by hand compared to the rest of the text.


So just so everyone knows, don't bother sending to Stephen Colbert. You're not going to get an authentic back.

Yeah, upon closer examination, I think it's an autopen. I'm a bit disappointed, but I guess it's the best I'm going to get from him at this point.
