I have a similar one but was told it could be a secretarial.

To me, this looks like it could be real. I will post my one when I get a moment, would be good to compare and contrast. I am a big Columbo fan.... :-)

I posted a thread a few months ago showing some ttms I got, which I'm 99 % sure are secretarial. This one, though, appears to be his true autograph. I had (threw them out) autopens similar in handwriting along with one of the books I got via store during his tour signing.

Thing about him, though, is he seemed to have several different styles. Just in one book signing alone, two books I bought were different sigs but definitely him. The suspected secretarials are smaller, appears neater and are a little different. There is one on google images I can't locate which seems to be the style of a mass secretary that did signings for Danny DeVito and a few others via California P.O. Box.

It's really too bad that a number of deceased celebs used secretaries but we don't find out until after passing.

Robin: I'm pretty sure yours is real too, though the personalization I'm not sure.

Here is my thread:

Auto looks good to me but for $150, way too much. He did a Hollywood Show and book signings, there has to be definite authentic autographs and surely for less money. Just keep looking, I'm sure you're bound to find something.

This is mine but it could be secretarial. At the moment, my faith in collecting autographs is at an all time low.

Here is one I'm thinking is secretarial. I can't put my finger on it but it looks very similar to the handwriting of a secretary who did signings for Pacino, Field, Parker, Broderick, DeVito and several others in early 2000s to present.

I will say, I think my one IP book looks a lot like the autographs Robin and John posted
