That's strange, when I wrote to him I got authentic autograph. Maybe it was because I sent my own photos.

Hi guys {up}

I love that picture of John!!!!

If you want to get an authentic auto from Mr Cleese, try the following address. I got a signed book from him for the auction, so I am not sure whether you should send your own pic or not.

It might be better if you can, but say in your letter that if he has a better one then that would be great.

Best of luck!

Are you sure that's a PP?
As from writing to the Hazlebury address I got that same signed photo but the signature on your one is very slightly different to mine.

See:

That's mine, it's definitely authentic I can tell.

And it's a little bit different in the signature from yours so maybe your isn't a pre-print.

And here's a scan on 'Stefan's Autographs'

Even though he says that's pre-print, that's different to yours too so I'd say he's wrong.

Okay so maybe it is a real one, looking really close it does look like it could be real, but unsure. Thanks Becky.

No problem, but I think it's most likely real. Seems a few people who get John Cleese ones assume they're PP's, but other than the difference in the signature, when I look close at mine you can see a slight indent from the pen.

Hi all {up}

It appears that those John Cleese pics/autos are originals!

The autos are obviously different, and so cannot be pre-prints. I guess John had a load of copies of the photo made, each with a blank "square" on the page into which he signs.

Congrats to all of you! And thumbs up {up} to John Cleese!!!
