Do you have any initial thoughts on these Matt from comparing the samples provided?

Hi Chris, I’ve been taking a close look at these over the past several days and am still working through them.

Thanks to everyone who has shared examples so far…still hoping a few more might be posted to add to my collection that I gathered here and online.

I’m taking my time so I can put together as complete a picture as possible, but hope to have something to share soon.

I think I have looked into this as much as I can with the info available to me.

I don’t have a definitive conclusion. As someone who purchased this signed edition, I want them to be real. But I do have concerns after looking at some of the evidence as a whole.

It is lengthy, but I hope you will read the results of what I found here.

It’s way too long (and too many photos) to post directly into the forum, but I wanted to make it available.

I will also try to post some overlay videos I completed that may add to the picture.

Thanks for reading and thanks to those who shared examples.

I’m going to start uploading some overlay videos shortly.

I asked that you take them into consideration and conjunction with the report available HERE

I do want to explain how I approached the overlay process. As you’ll see from the examples HERE, the “P’s” in these signatures show noticeable variation across the examples.

For the overlay analysis, I used the “r” in either Priscilla or Presley as an anchor point, as it provided a more stable reference than the more variable capital “P.”

You’ll notice that in some of the examples, the P may still come close to lining up, but that was not the anchor point.

That said, I’m not disregarding the “P.” To address this, I’ve included separate overlays focused specifically on the “P’s.”

Taken together, the book examples appear to show a combination of consistency and controlled variation that likely warrants further discussion and examination.

Please make of these what you will. Some may be more compelling to you than others, or not at all.
