No, I think they are real and he might have signed them because these were postmarked from the UK. Besides when I'm signing a lot, I change my signature all the time.
Same here! Sometimes I make the ''K" curvy, or sometimes straight. Sometimes my signature is cursive, sometimes messy, sometimes I write my whole name, and sometimes just "Kass", then my last name, when I'm in a rush.
I hope we're right!
Eh, what the heck! I'll e-mail Speedo, and see what happens. I'd rather have an autograph that might be real than not have one at all and miss out on the chance!
Could someone give me the LINK to e-mail Speedo?

This is a scan of the stamps he sent out before:

The question is, why would he start signing now, after the olympics when he should be reciving much more requests, but not back then? :?

Exactly, Jason! And just look at the signature on the letter and stamped autograph - it's obviously his real signature as it isn't handsigned and it doesn't compare to recent successes. And for the last time, please read my previous posts in this topic - I've commented on the "autograph change" thing! :neutral: Everyone can believe whatever they want although I think many of you just believe it's authentic as you have/want one yourself. :? Sometimes you have to be realistic... I gave my honost opinion, I'm done here.

I got it via the address on his official site, and it was received last year. Not from Speedo..

Best to look at this, which is on 18th August

I know it's bit different to sign on clay, but looking at his M and P from this angle, my opinion is his recent successes from speedo are authentic.

If they are saying that they are all out, then that surely means they are authentic. If they were secretarial, they could just sign them for anyone that asks.
