Paul, Adrian: SP, 5x7 color.This one was a surprise, since I'd heard he doesn't sign through the mail. I was half expecting it to be non-authentic, but it isn't a pre-print or an autopen. Then I wondered if it might be a secretarial, but it matches the handwriting samples I've seen on Highlander and from other scans of his handwriting. I visited the fan club web site, and they do have continual contact with Mr. Paul; they also sell his autographs when you buy a picture set. Because of all of these things, I believe this is authentic. The photo is a nice informal pose and is signed in red on the back of the picture.
Peeples, Nia: ISP, 8x10 black and white.Ms. Peeples is a good signer. She apparently has a variety of pictures she sends--I saw a site with a close-up photo; it was received not long before I received my own success. In my case, she sent a full length picture in which she is sitting on a box. She signed with a fine tip black pen.
Pertwee, Sean: ISP, 3x5 black and white.I was thrilled with this success, because Sean was in a Mystery series I really enjoyed. It's a great response! He signed with a blue sharpie.
Raimi, Ted: ISP, 8x10 black and white.I'm quite pleased with this success because not only is it an authentic autograph (I've compared with in-person scans), it's also a great photo. I had heard he was sending out pictures from Xena, but I received one with him not in costume. He is sitting in front of a car. He signed the photo with a gold paint pen. This is a great addition to my collection!
Rickman, Alan: ISP, 8x10 black and white.This success is particularly dear to me not just because it's authentic, but also because it ended my longest time between autographs to date: 47 days without an autograph, but that ended with this success. I received two autographs: 8x10 that I sent, and a 4x6 that he provided. Both are inscribed, the smaller one with a gold paint pen and the larger one in black. The signatures match scans I've found. Very generous response!
This was another wonderful response from a British actor. They are incredibly good about responding to autograph requests. He signed the photo with a gold paint pen. As usual, I am open to any comments or recommendations about the authenticity.
An amazing success to begin the month! Ms. Root sent me two photos and a handwritten letter. The letter was very gracious, and she responded to what I had written in my letter to her. Both photos were signed with a black ball-point pen. I am still looking for a scan to compare the signature with; however, I believe it is authentic.
Routledge, Patricia: SP, 3x5 black and white.This response was very nice, because after I sent my request, I heard that she sent pre-prints. This one is real, however; she signed at the bottom of the photo with a blue ball-point pen. She also sent a filmography discussing her myriad projects.
Russell, Keri: SP, 5x7 color.This was a disappointing but not unexpected response. I sent my request before Felicity came out, and received a pre-print from Studio Fan Mail. The postcard was metered, and the metering covered part of the signature. If it had been an authentic signature, I would have been angry--under the circumstances, it didn't really matter. If you want a nice picture, send the request; if you are hoping for an authentic autograph, save your stamps.
I've heard she sends pre-prints, but this signature looks more like an autopen. It is clearly written on the picture (a close up photo), which indicates that it isn't a pre-print. The signature is done in heavy black--it doesn't look at all like a sharpie. It's a nice picture.
Ryan, Jeri: HLS, SC & ISP, 8x10 black and white.This was a generous response, particularly from someone who is currently in a demanding series. The picture is of her as Seven of Nine, and she signed with a blue sharpie. The letter (in which she answered the questions I asked) and index card are written and signed with a black pen; all signatures match up to in-person scans I've seen. Ms. Ryan is a good signer, but please don't write to her unless you know who she is; don't take advantage of her kindness.
