Jake,

I think everyone needs to be aware that you are using an anonymous email address from Latvia (.lv) registered through the afraid.org nameserver. 

Have they run out of email addresses in Louisville?

does 10 Lats each sound fair price for items considered secretary by group to be sold to jake? if considered worthless here in the mean time? should i make offer of such monetary compensation here or elsewhere? seems fair for items that are deemed of absolutely no value by most here. i am bit of a savior no?

Yeah. You are a bit of something. Just haven't figured out what.

Depending on the conversion rate 10 LATs might not be a bad price.

Perhaps an uncomfortable topic, but when mr Lewis passes and for the period when these signatures become hot items, who will determine the genuine? Has all of this been resolved? Are there rules in place? Is there a logical determinable method set to identify the secretarials that have been claimed so loudly by individuals on this site? This is semmingly an important topic and should be responsibly dealt with prior to a future time of hastey decision with perhaps inflated picing. Bottom line, have we determined in any logical way what the title of this thread seeks, a guide to what is a TTM secretarial?

One thing I have brought up is the exaggerated squiggly line that so many TTM items have.  I have asked for in person example that have this.  I have only seen barely an underline on some IPs but never that exaggerated triple squiggle.  I think thats a good place to start to determine if the TTMs are signed by someone else.  If someone has an IP with that same trait, Id love to see it.

So these 3 because all gathered at once and tied to the top one withe exagerated squiggle ate secretarial most likely?  This would cover a lot of territory. Also interseting in these examples, the variability of style that the secretary would have engaged in, odd?

notice the differing T's in the Johannes items, cursive and block letters.The squiggle and nicere inscriptions are given to paying customers it seems? hasty signatures with single looped L for the Lewis are the style he gives quickly at the venues when in haste.

Also facinating is that the habit of overwriting inscriptions has been with Jerry since the 50's as shown in this documented genuine example. obviously overwriting is a part of his actions.

The overwriting since the '50s example is fascinating. I assumed the overwriting in recent times was an obvious mark of it being signed by someone else, but your old example may mean it's a sign the current ones are authentic.

the inscription certainly looks to be bonafide on this one it has the z styled T that mr Prater said to look for
