My Tom Hanks Successes

[kasper01]

Hello,

I decided to find some Tom Hanks Authentic Successes from Ebay with COA's and compare to my successes due to all the other Tom Hanks feedbacks.

I wrote to him 5 times over the past 6 months and recived all of my pictures and 2 magazine covers back signed last Thursday. I sent them to the Arizona address as well.

Here is what is strange. Someone else posted that the person from Arizona actually takes post it notes and writes the names for Tom to inscribe them to because Tom doesn't have time to read the letters. Well I also got 2 of my 5 letters back signed as well. Does that mean they are fake or that Tom really read them?

I will post my succesess and then the authentics I found below and you can be the judge and compare. What I see is that the ones I got from Airizona seem to look fancier than the authentics. The T's are are hooked. Look closely at the hook on the "T".

Hi kasper01

It's great work you've done ... although you have to remember that a number of eBay signed photos may not be authentic. Sometimes COA's aren't worth the paper they're written on, so you have to make your own judgement as to whether you would purchase them or not (that's if you were going to buy one).

The feedback forum is for posting successes, so I believe this thread should be moved to Autograph Collecting Discussions. Another moderator will move this for you.

Thanks for posting!

When I seen this post I was curious but when I seen it was being compared to ebay Items with COA'S I wasn't even going to look but curiosity killed the cat satisfaction brought em back.
well the only thing you did was show everybody what a Tom Hanks autograph should'nt look like. Hanks has homes in Calif. and Idaho these are not being forwarded and Highly doubt Hanks is running to Arizona to sign autograph requests.

All Arizona successes are fake, no doubt there.

I must admit non of the other ones look like his real autograph too LOL
I saw a properly well IP success from him and it looked nothing like it.

LOL @ "authentic successes from ebay with COA"

Sorry, but Id fin a better source of "genuine" if I were you, COA's mean nothing.
