"Avoid this one as well.  This looks like a cheap repro. image that had a pre-printed sentiment and signature on the original image (the white ink). The forger then did a mediocre looking signature in a dark pen.   This another of…"

"That is wise. A large % of postcards and 5x7's are secretarial. Authentic signatures start showing up on 8x10's and more often on 11x14's. This is just a general guide of course."

"KentasticVoyage -  Unfortunately, this not Conte.  I'm attaching a candid I had signed by him. I'd encourage you to send this over to Autograph Hounds as well.   This is the kind of thing we enjoy discussing there also!"

"Hi there - gotcha I will take a look at this in daylight tomorrow to see if it looks like proper hand signature ink. Another difference between the two is the dot on the 'i' in Richard is right where it should be in my photo, but attached…"
