Samuel L. Jackson Success! Authenticity wanted!

Hi,
I sent to Samuel L. Jackson to "The Avengers" set in Cleveland on:
Sent: 8/12/11
Received: 8/20/11
Total: 8 Days

I sent to the Cleveland Address for the Avengers set. I sent 3 pictures, one for me, my mom, and close friend. I received 2 pictures back, one magazine clipping signed (with out inscription) and the other unsigned. I wonder what he did with the other photo because the one he kept was the one I hoped he would sign. ha ha! :P I wish he had signed it on the white part of the picture because it's rather hard to see. I really didn't think I would have luck with this, especially when the user who faked users out was found out. I'll post the envelope but there wasn't a postmark but it appears someone marked out my stamps with a sharpie. However, I think it came quickly because I live in Columbus, Ohio so I don't know if that factors in.

Let me just say, I know there has been controversy on the user who posted successes from this address and I wanted to state I DID INDEED RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM THE CLEVELAND AVENGERS ADDRESS! Now, I am unsure of the authenticity and to be honest, I have my doubts. :( It looks like there is potential of it being authentic but I am still skeptical. However, another user said he received his stuff from Mark Ruffalo back unsigned from the same address I sent to Sam. If it was fake, wouldn't the staff had sent my stuff back unsigned instead of signing one? I don't know. It is very confusing. I welcome opinions and thoughts. If it is a secretarial, then the person who signed it had some what of an idea of what Sam's autograph looked like.

Lastly, I would like to ask users not to attack me because I swear, I did not fake this success. I actually sent right after I head the user who reported a success got there's but I am unsure if that success was real or a hoax. Regardless, thanks fanmail.biz for help with the address. I do hope this is authentic. :)

As bizarre as this success is, let this be a positive report that people who thought they wouldn't receive anything, give them hope that they will hopefully receive something signed by the requested person. ;)

Here are some IP examples from autograph world. There are some minor differences but I cannot comfortably rule this out as a secretarial. I am 50/50 with the authenticity. Any ideas?

See what I mean? It's 50/50. lol I am beginning to lean towards authentic because I don't think his secretary would be on location with him and I doubt people on the set would invest in learning how to forge his signature. :P Could be wrong though. lol

I gotta say it looks like a sec. Hopefully this means it is a valid address though. This whole thing is just crazy lol.

That is not an authentic Jackson auto. The sig is too shallow, His sig is more up and down.....and the "jackson" part is all wrong.

Just doesn't make sense to me that people are getting "replies" so quickly....

The op did say he lived in the same state.

That's definitely a secretarial.

Yeah, I live in Columbus, Ohio. Yeah, I wanted to believe this one was real but I have to agree, after everyone's observations including my own, it looks secretarial unfortunately. :( It does appear that someone took time to look up his signature before forging it. lol Another user said they sent Mark Ruffalo and the pictures he sent were returned unsigned. I wonder why that was the case yet someone forged sam's autograph. Oh well, better luck next time I guess. lol

I have been tempted to visit the area where their filming but it's probably pure pandemonium and I wouldn't want to bother the set. lol :lol:
