Need your opinion regarding an autographed photo I purchased

Hello! I recently purchased this photo of Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway on eBay. It looked real at that time, but now that I received it, I have doubts. The autographs are not flawless, the person seems to have stopped at certain main spots, as if trying to copy a real auto. Of course, I'm just a beginner, so I can be wrong, but I would like to have your opinion. Thanks!

Hey Mike I didn't take your posting as a negative towards the dealer. I just thought we should have a look or maybe I even know the dealer.

If their items are good that would only help their business.

I know that Steve Cyrkin posting about me here increased my sales.

Private message me if you don't want it posted publicly.

Mike, Christian also sometimes signs something in Welsh

Paul, maybe officially the photo was released afterwards but they have been available to get well before any of the Premieres

Definitely slowly written signatures with a lot of stops and Anne's signature looks nothing like any that I have seen since the release of the film.

Thanks Mike! That's what I thought too.

Have you received your refund yet?

No, not yet. Since I live in Canada, it takes more time to send it back to the US :-)

I already mentioned this on this forum and will mention it again.
Do not buy if in doubt and especially from some one that know one
Knows , if the dealer has no reference then you can forget them it's not worth the stress.
Actually I have a bale on my site but if you move it under the light you can kind of make
Out it was personalised , like I said Bale don't sign without a name .

There was too many things I did not like from the items above but it's not my business
To go into detail , we usually target the UK scum on Acaf and that's were we take actions
As we kind of can as we have a group of guys that do this .

eBay in general it's not the perfect place to look but I know for some people it's the only avenue
To buy or sell . Good luck .

Thanks a lot Jason! I just watched a few videos on Youtube of Christian signing autographs, and he does asks for names. So I guess I will write to the seller and ask him if it was personalised. If it wasn't, I will pass. Thanks a million times!!

My official opinion: Both Christian Bale posted by Gmauthenticautos and the other seller are authentic. The sellers removed the personalizations. I didn't see the Anne Hathaway scan to judge. Please repost and I'll let you know. I've obtained over 75 Christian Bale in person and privately signed autographs so I know his signature inside and out. I've gotten him to not personalize too before if you're wondering. It is possible to break him down as long as there isn't a crowd.

The Anne Hathaway is posted as an attachment at the top of the thread.  Here it is.

The above photo is No good. You can easily see the signature is slowly etched and and too frail for hathaway. Hathaway is another name that I've gotten a plethora of and this isn't her autograph. Please let me know if anyone is interested in authentic hathaway autographs. I have a limited amount left from Dark Knight.
