There was time when i used to do loads of TTM. Sir Alec Guinness was my fave, sadley no longer with us.
Before i started Autografica, and in the first couple of years it was a great diversion from the running of the business, and of course provided me with some nice stock (o how i wish i had kept the Guinness Star Wars signed photos, they cost me an arm and a leg now, when i can find them!).
I can't recall the last time i sent out any blank photos for signing.
Its a great hobby, andcn teach you so much, but as i have said before, its no just about building the largest collection, it should be about the best collection.
Do the research, and you will learn a lot, and lastly i still have a place left on my course if anyone wants to learn even more!

This one i have looks nothing like, so can i assume that its a secretarial???? Bloody annoyed as i missed her when she visited Lincoln and was given this as a gift.

ive noticed 4 aftal and uacc dealers have still got secs up for sale,they are obviously not yet aware of the new findings,so ive emailed them all ,to ask them to check out the isitreal site,lets hope they now remove them from sale,to avoid someone buying them and getting stung

Here you go mate, its deffo sec as it matches the secs on is it real 😞 There was i holding this as one of my favorite graphs too and now this news has put the downers on the whole thing.
22-05-2011 12:08 PM
paul,looking at the hook in the i cant see on the scan,but if it isnt just a straight line ,then yes its a sec again,sorry mate:-(
22-05-2011 12:11 PM
one hope on the horizon mate,is that she does still send out authentics ttm,you just have to be one of the lucky ones,to get the authentic instead of the sec,,i will certainly still be trying:-)
22-05-2011 12:19 PM
Torn up and in the bin now mate.
Cant be arsed with sending to the states, riding on the fact that you are more likely to get a poxy bloody sec back!!

That was a perfectly good reference signature! but i understand you frustration!
Never throw or destroy this kind of thing, just put them in a file marked 'NFG' and store them away, as they will come in usefull on day.
Here si soem more bad news for you......just heard that Sophia Loren has been using a secretary. No more information than that at the moment, but this is not a rumour, but came from her own mouth!
Better get your Lorens out now and start making some comparisons. Who will be the first to spot tell tale signs?

22-05-2011 11:13 PM
if i was being paid for a signing,and somebody asked me if i was signing ttm for free,i too would say no i wasnt,its good business:-) no one will ever convince me,that sophia loren ttm is secretarial,i go on what i can see in front of me,compare it to ip and make a judgement,i dont listen to rumours

22-05-2011 11:46 PM
milly.for any one to suggest that her ttms are secs is laughable
