Dustin Hoffman Possible Success

[banjo!]

I am a little unsure if this is authentic or autopen. I can't find another signature that looks exactly like this one. And at a couple of points, the ink is not as solid. I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

I sent it to the address in the database last month and received it back on 9-19-15.

Autopen!

Not autopen. Mine looks different

If yours is an AP- then what is mine? The sigs are not exact.

He's such an amazing actor. Hope you figure out if it's authentic or not. How cool.

It's authentic. The first person just had no evidence of autopen and was just assuming

Chiming in with another opinion. I am positive this return is an autopen. What "evidence" do you have that this is an authentic signature? Just because it varies from the one someone else received?

It's got all the tell-tale signs of an autopen... Dots at every stop, consistent and even ink pretty much the whole way through, and no sign of speed in any of the characteristics of the signature that would usually appear if signed by a human hand - especially that of a busy movie star who would presumably be signing lots of items quickly if answering stacks of fanmail.

People can have more than one autopen signature so some appear different than others, and even the same autopen can vary if the item being signed is moved or bumped by the person inserting it into the machine to be signed. I've seen this done by book publishers when selling "signed" editions of books that are actually autopens.

Use logic instead of wishful thinking... And you come to the conclusion that this signature is an autopen.
