The autograph looks legit, i'm no expert, but I believe the personalization IS a sec though (completely different handwritting, too girlie, werid personalization).
Congrats. :)

If the autograph itself was fake, why go through the trouble of having someone else do the personalization? It's quite obviously another person did the personalization. If they're passing out fake autographs as Bradley's, they wouldnt go through the trouble of finding two people just to "throw us off". Just my opinion.

Did u send SASE?

@Bri0626: this is just my opinion, but I think all the inscriptions on the photos from your link are all the same sec inscriptions. they match the ones we got. I think only a few of the "B's" on those photos are authentic, but most of them look like the secs I've seen. But some kinda match his IP ones, but not 100% sure.
It's good to be optimist! :) it's just for me, I'm just not buying they're authentic. Remember, most of the older ones came from PA which were all secs :(

These pics have comparisons, but I am still not sure. I haven't been collecting long enough to really know much, but I am still leaning slightly towards the sig being authentic and the inscription being sec. Maybe I'm just an optimist! :) The "BC" initials look quicker and messier, more manly...so I am still hoping he really signed it. I guess the debate continues!

@velvetgold: agreed. someone could be trying to copy/match his IP ones, but they're doing a really poor job at it. I tried to copy his TTM ones and I matched it dead on perfectly. if you can match a TTM one dead on, it's more likely it's a sec. I can't replicate Bradley's authentic autograph. doesn't matter how many times i try, just can't. NOBODY can replicate someones authentic sig - it's in their hands. nobody but that person can. "All the best" sounds like something he would write. Bradley is amazing to his fans. he will always sign IP and at the one movie premire of The Hangover Part 2, any fan who asked for a picture with him - he took their camera and took the picture of him and whoever himself. and if anybody is waiting across the street from a film set where he is, waiting for an autograph, he'll sign it for them. he is really a sweet guy. so i don't blame or point the finger at him. it's always the people around the celeb causing the problem. maybe if we wait a while till he is taking a break from filming so much, we can send something to him to sign and see if that one will be authentic. i wouldn't hold my breath on that, but it is worth a try. did he ever sign authentically TTM?

[quote="AutographAddict7"]@velvetgold: the signed playbill - did someone send that to him TTM or was it signed IP? there is cursive handwriting and then there is the cursive handwriting which is written on Bradley Cooper autographs from TTM. My father sometimes writes in cursive, but it doesn't look as lady-like on the BC autos. of course i'm not saying they should match, i'm just saying, if a guy does sign in cursive, it sure doesn't look like the kind on the BC autos. most older people sign in cursive and Bradley doesn't strike me of a writing in cursive guy. I've seen some words he has written other than his name and it doesn't match what is on the autos. I don't really trust PSA/DNA but i believe this is authentic and he wrote "All the best" and it matches all his IP autos and doesn't come close to his TTM ones:

i agree, you would have gotten it much faster if he signed it on the set. that does raise some questions, doesn't it?
ok, this is just my opinion: the first picture in the link, the inscription looks a lot more manly, but the "B" i still have my doubts. i want to think it's authentic, but it still doesn't match authentic IP ones. he doesn't write a long line after the "B." compared to ours, there is more % of it being real than the ones we got, but i'm still not buying it. i'd say sec. he just doesn't write his "B's" like that. his "B's" are more fatter and not as thin as the ones they got TTM. as for the second picture of the auto in the second link: i'd say definitely a sec. the inscription doesn't curl as much, but it looks it still matches. and it still doesn't match Bradley's real inscription. plus the "B" is way too thin and small. I'd say just another of many secs. i'd say the had all his fanmail VV ones redirected to a fanmail address. i have been studing over his TTM ones to his authentic ones before I even sent one to him (them) to sign and i still believe his TTM ones are sec. i'm beyond annoyed, but more disappointed then anything :([/quote]
I'm very disappointed as well... again, I agree with everything you've said. As much as I want to convince myself that what I got was real, I just can't. It just seems really off. The TTM autos look even more "rushed" and messy than the IPs!! This is the sign of someone else doing the signing.. doesn't even come close to the IPs. Plus he's all over the place doing movies right now, realistically he wouldn't have the time to respond to all the people he's been responding to lately. He's barely been in Cali these last few months.

The signed playbill was cursive, but it wasn't AS neat as what we are getting. Like you said, it's highly possible he sometimes writes in cursive but I imagine it more messy, like that link you posted. And 'take care' REALLY doesn't strike me as something he would write... 'all the best' (like in your link) sounds more like it.

*sigh*

Wonder how long we'll have to wait until he starts signing authentically again :(

It's pretty upsetting that they're not even forwarding him fanmail on movie sets. Not to be rude at all, but because of one film that was huge, all of a sudden he's a hotshot that doesn't get mail forwarded anymore? I'm not blaming Bradley here, he seems like a nice guy, but the people around him.. obviously they think he's too hot sh*t to sign for anyone.

@velvetgold: the signed playbill - did someone send that to him TTM or was it signed IP? there is cursive handwriting and then there is the cursive handwriting which is written on Bradley Cooper autographs from TTM.

[quote="AutographAddict7"]@velvetgold: i checked out your post of your Bradley Cooper auto and i'd say it matches mine as well as others that gotten his TTM. I found some older successes too, but it wouldn't bring em up. so if the personalizations match the older posts and the signature doesn't - could that mean the sig is authentic for the recent successes? as everyone said that before they came from a PA address and they were sec. he could have just signed a whole bunch, sent them back and his secretary did the personalizations? but the sig still doesn't match any authentic autos i've seen. my gut is just telling me something isn't right. wish they would be authentic.

@Bri0626: he signs his autos just "B" IP. but the "B" on his TTM autos don't come close to his "B" IP :( I sent him an 8x10 and my Hangover DVD cover just this past week and then i'm going to see if he'll sign the photos he (they) kept if i print em out again and send it his (their) way. that is what i thought: signed a stack of em and then sent them all out almost the same time which could explain that a good bit of the ones who sent to him got them all back pretty much at the same time. ha! if i meet him, i'll ask ;-)[/quote]
Agree with everything you said!

I also found a signed playbill from when he did an NY play a couple of years ago, and his writing sort of looked like the inscriptions.. cursive handwriting and all...
The only thing that concerns me is that I sent my request to the set June 7th. And I live in the same city where it was filmed, so it would have gotten there June 9th, max. Then production ended July 9th and I only got my autograph on the 28th. If he was indeed signing authentically, wouldn't I have gotten the autograph far quicker when he signed it on set rather than it going back to California and then coming back to me signed? That just raises some suspicions right there.

And I'm sorry, but I know NO guy that who's handwriting curls like that at the end of words!! I mean I guess it's always possible, but I just really have a feeling Bradley doesn't write like that for some reason!



Look at the inscription here:

[url]http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?f=125&t=160397&p=701931&hilit=bradley+cooper#p701931[/url]

seems far more realistic and manly, if you ask me!


But then someone got this:

[url]http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?f=125&t=153668&hilit=bradley+cooper[/url]

They obtained that halfway through filming.. received in October and filming went on until December, so we can assume that this success came back from the set. and the inscription looks like ours. Unless they had all his fanmail redirected to a fanmail address where someone else signed them?

So annoyed with all of this!
