STUDY: Jerry Lee Lewis - TTM real or not real
Steve asked me to start a new thread since some were having a lot of issues with regards to whether or not the through the mail autographs of Jerry Lee Lewis are real or not. I will post some examples of what we have been getting recently and some know in person examples. These TTM signatures are not cheap. You have to pay $50 for them to his box office box. The question is are they real or not. Roger has said that he has never seen Mr. Lewis sign this way and it looks to perfect - like a woman's signature.
Please post your thoughts here and examples.
thanks
Mark

I'd be surprised if he signed that. Completely different flow and feel. Way too smooth.

What you all think of the LP I posted the prior page? Keep in mind, I paid for that one. Go ahead I can take it lol, I think Ballroom liked it, how about others

It's been a while since I've looked at JLL sigs so I feel a bit rusty... but the album signature strikes me as being ok. I'm not sure about the dedication. It seems a bit oversized compared to the signature... jury is out on that portion IMO.

I've looked at that album several times, and still can't figure out what it is. The signature is good, in my opinion, but still not sure about the dedication. Then I ask, why would two different people participate in the signature/inscription? At best, the inscription is very atypical.

In my view, the notion of a proxy signing the dedication is a distinct possibility, especially when the signer may be older / infirm.
All the "work" is in the dedication. And with paid signatures, you want to make sure the recipient's name isn't screwed up. The proxy adds the dedication ensuring everything is spelled and placed correctly... then JLL just needs to go through the stack signing his name using the same pen.
I'm not stating this is definitely happening... just that there could be a sound rationale for it.

At the very top of page 90, I posted the prior album I got back from Jerry about 3-4 years ago. I think this one including the inscription is entirely in his hand. This one has the cursive style S. The only reason why 2 different people would do an inscription / autograph I can think of is because maybe Judith or whoever gets a stack of mail puts on the item who it is for then passes it on to Jerry for signing. Maybe he is too tired and asks just to sign his name or maybe she dedicates them so not to who gets what. Just a theory, anyway here is the prior album again. (I love revisiting this thread!)

Totally believe the signature is real.
I've been waiting and hoping for someone to send him another autograph request. It's been awhile since we've seen a new result. I realize he had a stroke, but he's since cut a new album. I'm guessing he can still sign.

I was just about to send one more off to him when he had his stroke. With all the controversy in this thread about TTMs I will probably no longer do so. He seems very frail in pictures and not sure how strong his hands are. Still, a note to Judith may work may answer this. Im sure if he is not able to sign she will say so,

I dont know about this. If she was signing his name on paid TTM's before, which seems like a strong probability, what would stop her from doing the same if he is unable to sign?

What do you think about the dedication on your GH LP? Do you think it’s from a proxy signer?

this doesn't look like any of the JLL's that have in my collection. I do not believe this was signed by him.
