Sept 13 - Sent LOR, SASE, Jessica Twilight New Moon NECA Trading Card
Sept 20 - Received Trading Card Signed
I plan on submitting this card to PSA/DNA for verification. It could be a secretarial or could be authentic. Won't know for sure until I hear back from PSA/DNA...

My personal opinion is that looks real. But my god, she could not have used a more indecipherable pen! Additionally, the quick turnaround time is a real concern.

Seeing as how she's been in the UK since before you sent it and still is in the U.K. It takes 5 days minimum for post to get to the U.K. from the U.S. not to mention another week to get back to the U.S. from the U.K.
It's well known her agency sends secs.
Oh and this is what an authentic from her looks like

She was in the UK for a fashion show. But she had a premiere back in LA the same day the card was postmarked (Sept 17). I know the odds are slim, but she was in the same city the card was signed that day.

Or you could do your own research instead of trusting authenticators who claim to know everything.
I never understand why people can't compare examples themselves.
If it's real well done, but I believe the chances are slim on this one.

The reason you send an item to PSA/DNA is not only for authentication, but for added value. Just because you have an item that appears to match another item doesn't mean anything. I would never buy an auto without it being authenticated by a well respected source.
I have been autograph collecting since the early 90's. Thanks for the tips, but I think I've got this.
Have a nice day.

And yet you STILL trust PSA/DNA ? Comical. Congrats on the longevity of your collecting, I've been at it since 1992 myself, had some good times. Of course, the best bit of that comment is that you think they can see something else in it that you can't. If you've been collecting that long, you should have the skill to ID things just as well as they can. With a squiggle like that, it's hard for anyone to claim either way, regardless of skill, so in that case I do believe it's a total waste of time. And that's before you consider the stories circulating about authenticated signatures from some of these companies. With Anna, there's a LOT of quick turnaround signatures from her out on the net, I'd be wary of it personally, as the amount of mail she must get makes it dubious. You never know your luck though...

You mean she's been in London to film a movie and hasn't left. But no clearly you know that right? She's really active on twitter and isn't hard to keep up with frankly.

Unless you're me who's trying to meet her

wish she'd do something I know about when I'm not in NYC or the other end of England!!
But yes, this is sec.
