Hi Elphieba

Unfortunately, the Feedback forum is to post details of your successes by requesting through the mail. Another moderator will move this post shortly.

It's great that you've been able to receive successes. However, please observe the guidelines when posting details of your successes here.

If you want to be added to the draw to win a $10 Allposters.com gift certficate, have a look at the rules here.

If you want to know whether the autographs are real, you need to:

1. Compare with other autographs received. Make sure they look similar (but not exactly the same)
2. Shine a light against the signature on your photo. The ink from the signature should reflect differently to the photo.

Good luck!

Hi Elphieba

I understand what you mean. When you post in the feedback forum you need to inclulde a number of details including:

1. Who you received a success from
2. Address you sent a request to
3. Dates you sent your request to and when you received it
4. A scan of the photo and envelope received

We kindly request you follow the guidelines set out for posting feedback. The full guidelines can be found here.

Good luck, and I hope to see you posting in feedback soon

Hi Elphieba

Welcome to the forum

The best way to tell if your success is genuine or not is to search the forum for a similar success and compare what you got. Generally, MOST celebs will sign authentically for you through the mail.

Occasionally some may send you a preprinted autograph, but on the whole these are easily detectable when you compare them to others from the same person.

Just as a bit of info for you, Michael Palin's autographs are usually genuine

To find details of other peoples autograph successes you can download the Fanmail.biz toolbar which allows you to search the database by celebrity name: http://www.fanmail.biz/toolbar/toolbar.php

Good luck!
