Here is mine - on a Camelot program - they look alike but maybe others will chime in.

Henry's looks good - the OP appears a forgery IMO.

I think they're both real. The A in Andrews starts off unusually awkward but everything else looks like I'd expect. Probably not signed under ideal conditions.

Hi Steve, Thank you for your help, I had no reason to doubt it really  due to the origins of it, it would seem pretty pointless to fake a signature on something and then donate it to charity to be sold for next to nothing,

Tracy.

Hi Tracy,

You have a nice find there.

Keep hunting! Someone bought a copy of the Declaration of Independence for $2 at a charity store that the store no doubt thought was another common, worthless reproduction like they saw all the time. It was a rare early 19th-century version that the buyer sold for $525,000 as I recall.

Unfortunately, this is not signed by Julie.

I think it was signed in person at a crowded event and the original  owner was holding it while Julie signed it. The signature is awkward because it was signed awkwardly.  I have been to events where records and similar items were signed in haste and the signatures are not the best.
