Dean Martin Signatures

It has been known Dino used a secretary for his through the mail requests. I'd like to know what your opinions are on these 3 items. The first 2 are Lps, the 2nd being signed in ballpoint on the back. The 3rd item is a photo. Thanks.

IMHO Dino 0002 Secretarial, Dino 0003 Authentic, Dino 0004 could be authentic, do you know what year it was signed?

That is a beautiful example of an authentic Dean Martin Signature.

Deans Style was pretty consistent until the late 80's when his son was killed.

After that he really kinda lost interest in Life.

He really began to drink heavily, and you could see the results of that in his signatures from 1987 on.

He was a genereous signer, and would sign for his fans outside of the Beverly Hills Rest he ate at nightly.

Best examples of his Signature I have seen have been from the 40's thru mid 70"s

Thanks. I obtained this from the Odyseey group back in the 90's I think they used to be involved with Autograph magazine.

You're right. Odyssey Group was the corporation that bought and sold autographs. Odyssey Publications was the corporation that published the magazine and books. We bought the publishing company.
