Authenticity is Everything
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!

Yes, it's still possible if it's not the real deal. But I would like to have opinions first. :-) Thanks!

I posted a Hathaway that I got in person the week the film was coming out. Yours not only looks different as the pen looks like it stops and starts, while mine was all one motion straight through. Compare the two as I have doubts about yours. The Bale also looks like it stops and starts. Could be the pen, so just compare against a guaranteed real one that I got in person and make your own decision.

anne signs in 2 different ways, youll either get the more neater as if she has sat down and you can read the signature of the one wheres she is in a rush and does the looping short one, the one in question here is neither, the bale one is an attempt to copy but is flawed and that image was not release until after the release of the film so if they say the got it at the premier its a lie.

Thanks a lot James and Paul!! After comparing the examples, I decided to return my photo to the seller and ask for a refund. I really think they are forgeries. :-( Oh well... when they say "If it's too good to be true, it usually is", I guess they are right! LOL!
Can I give names and seller IDs here? They even created a fake website to give more credibility to their autographs.

The first one sold me the picture above. The username is "double-down-market". He's the same as "ten*dollar*general". The website created to give more credibility to their COAs is www.grandstand-online.com

Just so you know in future Bale never signs without dedications never !!
So with this been a silver you might be able to see a name somewhere really
Faint though not easy to spot but sometimes under the light you can .
Every bale I have ever got in my whole life last decade
Don't matter on situation they were dedicated always.
