Hi everybody!
I've got a presigned autograph, too. So I've sent my request to the Stone Street Studios in New Zealand.
And 5 weeks later, I've got my Thorin photo back with a fantastic autograph on it.

Why don't you retry sending after Richard is done filming. I bet he won't send a pre-signed after that. [/quote]

That's what I'm planning to do. Though I am tempted to send now, 'cause I think those notes of acknowledgement are pretty neat, and I love the pic.

I'll bet you're MUCH happier to find that this is legit, aren't you, Baggiebubs? :D So, congrats on the success, and I would say, don't go back to your dealer. :mrgreen:

Must be one heck of a dealer. Perhaps wise to think about it yourself, especially when you've already had a discussion about this very same topic in recent weeks.

Don't suppose said dealer was trying to sell you a real Armitage themselves were they? :D

This is definitely pre-signed, not PP or AP! So congrats! :D I got the same photo and note, but the signature on mine looks a little different. He is so kind to his fans to sign a load of photos before he left for filming so we could all get something back!

That's exactly what I was thinking. He hasn't even seen the other pre-signed ones others have received...
Also, the OP thinking that it could be an AP doesn't know how to spot all the different types of fake signatures. If it was an AP, the pictures the OP sent out originally would've all come back signed by a machine and looked all the same. We wouldn't have received pictures different from ours. And, as far as I know, very few UK agencies have an AP machine.

[b]Baggiebubs:[/b] Why don't you retry sending after Richard is done filming. I bet he won't send a pre-signed after that. Or, if you really want try VV. But, seriously. All these pre-signed photos coming in are temporary. I think the agency forwards his mail every 3 months. Or, not even, since you can't forward opened mail (since most agencies have to go through fan mail for security's sake) so they must send it by batches in a box or have Richard pick it up every 3 months.

Yeah, he's been away, filming, so ya know what he did before leaving? He signed a whole bunch of photos so that, while he was away, anyone who wrote him at his regular fanmail address would be able to get his autograph, even if it wasn't on the picture they sent. It's legit, and while he didn't sign your photo, it's still wickedly awesome. Very thoughtful of him, especially to have a note included to everyone to explain WHY he didn't sign THEIR photo. Easy to mistake it for a AP or PP, but it's not. It's very, very cool! {up} :D

It definitely looks like a pre-signed photo, which is equally as awesome! 8)
