Hello folks, I've had my fourth TTM success today, my third this week (I had Hazel Douglas yesterday, Bathilda Bagshot in Harry Potter).
Today, unexpectedly I received two nice signed 8x6 photos which i sent to Colin Firth, personalised. I am very happy because I love his films. One is from the BBC drama Pride and Prejudice (1995) and one is from The King's Speech (2011). I'm going to send the Kings's Speech photo to Helena Bonham Carter and ask her to sign it. That would make a fantastic piece to be framed.

Colin is one of the few non-Harry Potter actors I have sent to. Address used in FanMail database. Time taken: 9 days.

to follow up from what I said in my above post if you look at His in person sig it is completely different from mail success even when not rushed. Also the quick and frequent replies from him are too good to be true you say this took just 9 days when the amount of mail sent to him makes it impossible for him to sign it all so quickly especially considering how busy he is. Alot of replies i've seen have also been very quick which isnt right plus the hand writing of the personalisation doesnt at all look like other authentic personalisations I have seen....just thought you should know before you send it on to helena as there's no point having an authentic from her and a fake from him together

Unlucky Jay...Not everything that comes back is genuine mate..Would have been a fab success.

Thats unlucky. Shame they have to do this. Why not just send photos back and apologise for his heavy work schedule.
22-06-2011 6:30 PM
I agree, why bother sending a 'sec'. Its a forgery when alls said and done. Never mind mate, early days. Congrats with the others:-)

Pity about it being a sec though
22-06-2011 7:32 PM
Bad luck this time. Secs and facsimiles - the bane of ttm collectors.
22-06-2011 7:36 PM
unlucky mate, not nice when this happens:-(
22-06-2011 8:47 PM
Unlucky mate .
22-06-2011 9:26 PM
Real pity it being a sec. Boo and hiss to the sec, autopen and stamp. X-(
22-06-2011 10:31 PM
Would anybody be able to provide a link to what they consider a genuine Colin Firth autograph so I can compare. thanks, Jay.
