When I feel it is real or someone truly put effort into the autograph, I expand on those remarks in my posts here on how much it means to me. I'm not as bothered about it as you seem about the ones you received.. It would be naïve to believe everything we receive is 100% authentic. I am very cognoscente of the probability of this happening with any major celebrity. You're not telling me anything as you seem to suggest you are. Knowing this information, was okay sending anyway. As with anything online, take everything you read with a grain of salt. A lot of blowhards on the internet. I'm comfortable in the risks I take and not in this for the money.

BTW, I did check his signature prior to the sending out as I do with all celebrities to see the tendencies of items accepted. Not new to this game. When several reputable authentication services have verified a variety of his signatures (seen at least 3 different) no one knows for certain what the true signature is. Often times, you'll get the celebs who BS and scribble fast just to get the job done. When they're getting paid, you'll get a neat, full signature more often than not. So coronavirus, fan mail load, money, autopen, secretarial, etc there are so many factors to consider and not sure why people feel the need to explain this to everyone as if they're the only ones smart enough to have it figured out. No need to spam every thread of Tim Allen with this claim to knowledge as if we don't know already or going to change the outcome somehow.

LOOOOOOOOOOL, according to your reply you are not that smart, sorry. It was not my intention to make you feel dumb at all... and I did not spam anywhere, I have posted this twice... so you don't know what you are talking about. But I am glad that you don't bother to get fake signatures... I thought collecting autographs makes only sense if they are authentic. My mistake. And no, I am also not new to this, collecting for approx. 17 years now...

And with Tim's signature it is pretty easy to tell if real or not, there are a few marks you can find out. But if you don't care, that is okay, no problem.

Happy (fake) collecting, man.

I have received three autographs today as well (also via his own production company) and they do not match up to other TTM autographs I got from him years ago. He might have changed his signature as well, but in other forums people also say that probably since April/May 2020 his company sends out secretarial signatures...

Very disappointing.
