Richard Armitage (The Hobbit - Thorin Oakenshield) success

[luckyas13canbe]

Yeah they did that to me, today the same
but I had to pay a fee of £1.09, also I note from him saying sorry I cant sign the photos as I go to country to country filming his my new photo have signed just you. Don't lie I don't liers its a pp. Actors who lie R no good

He's not lying! HE'S BEEN IN FREAKING NEW ZEALAND SINCE MAY!!! And will be until August!
And, it's not a PP. I've looked at every single success from him and they are slightly different. It's a pre-signed photo. Chill.
How come you had to pay a fee? My friend who received mine never mentioned a fee and nobody else did either.

Hey Kiddo, calm down a bit yeah? No need to go all psycho there ;) It does seem like the poster is claiming it's PP which it is not, but the fee would have been a delivery charge for underpaid postage I imagine.

I got the same photo today. At first I thought it was a PP/AP, but it's slightly different on his last name. So it's pre-signed, which I don't mind.

It's nicer than the Thorin photo I sent him, actually.

And then shall all of the Richard Armitage fans (like myself) shall prove it's a pre-signed. Why don't you just look at all of the successes on this forum, zoom in on the photos and compare. They are all slightly different. PPs are exactly alike down to the last "stroke". "Stroke" because they are photocopies or electronically rendered/printed and do not look like as if it was signed by a pen. Or use PhotoShop and place one signature over the other and you'll see if yours is a PP or not. Sorry, man. I don't see why you are so stubborn to realize you have an authentic autograph which is much larger than what most people send. Sorry you had to pay for postage but looks like everybody else's was paid for by his parents or the agency. Besides, most PPs are 4x6 and they would use your SASE. I've seen all actual PPs come from United Agents (i.e. Keira Knightley, James McAvoy) and they're 4x6 black/white ones using people's SASEs with a type-written letter from the agency claiming that the client cannot sign their photos, but they "read" their letters, so here's a photocopy of their signature.

I know RA well enough as a HUGE fan, and that he's not the kind of person that would send out PPs. Research pre-signed and PPs, please.

I sent an IRC with my SASE, so it's possible his agent used that to pay for the postage on my envelope.

In the UK there are size limits which apply to domestic mail only.
International Mail is different.

You mean 88 pence? I've seen large envelopes come from the UK that haven't been stamped/cancelled.
