I still don't get it that people consider autopens as a success. Jeez, that actor/actress NEVER even put his/hers hand on that photo a machine did.

If you're so happy with a secretarial. Then why can't I make a business of it by printing up some photos and signing them myself forging that actor/actresses name? IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING!

None looked good to me. Did these come with a reputable COA?

People, I'm trying to understand why you are so happy with what you get in the mail. A secretarial is just a forged signature and is not even the actors/actresses.

In extremely rare cases they do sometimes read the letters. But most likely they hire out a service that takes care of the fanmail. AND IF there is a letter received that is a "special" one, like for instance from someone who is sick or is just not from a typical fan asking for a graph, th...

Agreed. I certainly would want to know if it's real or not. The ONLY way you'll get a Downey is if you get him face to face at a premiere or some other event. NEVER through the mail. MAYBE if you had the guy's personal address? People are so naïve.

Instead of wasting your time on the reply or on the postage, it is ALWAYS best to either get the autograph in person such as a movie premiere or through reliable dealers that are authenticated by JSA, PSA or Beckett. I certainly would want the real thing wouldn't you?

northwellguy, I really like you're honesty when it comes to laying down the truth with this hobby. I just can't believe why people think it's a success when they receive basically junk, like with the secretarial, pre-print, our autopen. To me unless it's a real authentic signature it's nothing. Keep...

Worthless? If you're a true fan then the monetary value of a graph shouldn't matter.
