So I am thrilled to have finally received my pictures back autographed by Maggie Smith! Funny story, I sent the two pictured with the compliments note and the Downton Abbey Pic was meant to be signed to "James" and the Harry Potter one was meant to be signed to "Joe". She accidentally signed them both to "Joe", so they included an additional, very similar Downton photo and she signed it to "James" for me. The one she sent was much better quality anyways than the one I sent, so I am very pleased that they went through the trouble to make the correction. I was a bit worried I would never see this return because everyone else who sent around the same time was getting there stuff back and I was still waiting on mine. Now, a question for everyone with experience....I raised an eyebrow when I saw how similar Maggie's secretarys' handwriting is to her own....do you think the autographs she has been mailing out are authentic or secretarial? Thanks for the input. I've been collecting a very long time and if it were up to me I would say they are authentic, in fact, I would sooner say Maggie is forging her secretary's handwriting before I would think her signature was secretarial Let me know your opinions.. Thanks and have a great time collecting! Sorry, no envelope pic, but she kindly paid for postage to return these to me.

The O and the R together on the For James and the O and the R on the sec note look way similar, I wouldn’t rule out a sec signature here, or perhaps the dedication at least being a secretarial.
