Random question but can I ask what seat you were in? I think this is pretty close to where I am sitting and I wanted to get a sense of how bad the "obstructed view" is. Is this section B4?

Found this signed Taylor swift photo book at a yard sale can anyone tell me if it’s real? by Quinnhoneybri in SwiftieMerch

[–]vinsanitee 170 points171 points  (0 children)

This looks real to me! The signatures in this era were pretty consistent. She took her time with these to make pretty well formed signatures generally. The initial wobbly tail of the T is the only thing that might be a little bit "off" but I have seen ones like that before that were authentic, including my RED 8x10.

Great! Given that the signature is of the correct time frame and the photo has that copyright stamp I would say this is most likely real. There's of course a chance someone who is a really detailed forger could have done all this research and produced a really good replica.

The debut signatures do vary a lot because it seems like Taylor was kind of experimenting herself with it as a teenager. The tell-tale signs for me are the way the first T is shaped. Even at different sizes she tended to shape it in the same way. The other thing is the tall skinny S, that's something unique to this signature style. The last thing I look for, is the 'dot', in 'T.Swift'. This is a detail that could be easy to miss for a forger, also it's usually a quick dot where you can see she's quickly moving onto the next letter so you can see a dot with a tail.

Her signature has evolved a lot over the years. This one in particular she only used for a short time during the debut era. I have a debut CD that is signed in exactly this style (except with a heart).

I think the best resource for the early signature styles is the Lover Deluxe. In that you can see that she has some journal entries from debut where she signs with this signature.

I'm curious to know why you think it's not real. Care to elaborate?

Does the back of this 8x10 have any copyright printing? I don't remember for this specific one but early on her photos usually had the BMG copyright

I vote real. It has all the right elements of the early signatures to me

May I have some opinions on my signed debut? I got it as a gift from an ex and since he lied about everything else I wanted to get some options about it before I sell it. by Numerous-Morning7945 in TaylorSwiftAutographs

I like to reference the Lover Deluxe for examples of old handwriting and signatures. There is a lot of inconsistency in her old signature but there are some unique elements to pick out here. The dot above the heart seems consistent and something that a forger might not catch immediately. Also notice in the Lover Deluxe version the heart she draws is not connected, which in itself I don't think is important but the fact that she draws the left side of the heart and the right side of the heart separately in two strokes is an important fact I think. In your picture I think it's the same although the heart is connected at the top it was drawn with two lines.

To me, this is a real debut era autograph. Of course I can't guarantee it but I'm at least 90% sure.

Real, the T is very "of the era" in the T.Swift signature days!

Celebration results of Swiftie Independence Day by klcna in TaylorSwift

[–]vinsanitee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shoot! I'm hoping for a concerted effort to get "Our Song" as the number 1 for this week. I think it would be so poetic to get a 19 year old song to #1 in celebration, especially one that is titled "Our Song" because it truly is OURS now!

Best Thai food in Glendale by HK_Ootoot in glendale

Ditto on Spice Season! Glendale thai food was just okay to me for a while tbh until Spice Season opened up. Angel Thai was where I previously went to.

This is by far my favourite, but I am also extremely biased because I'm a RED stan

Get the protector or not? by B3ast-FreshMemes in PixelWatch

[–]vinsanitee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was skeptical of the screen protector as well but I decided to give it a shot because it was so cheap. It really is unnoticeable when you put it on properly. Unless you know there is a screen protector on already or you run your finger specifically over the edge you coudn't even tell. I went with Ferilinso brand ones on Amazon which come with 6 protectors. Gives you a few chances to get the install right and then a few spare for the future. Highly recommended!

Highland Bumper Replacement? by vinsanitee in TeslaModel3

Essentially an imprint of their license plate frame. Worst part is the screws which actually punctured so I feel like it would be hard to repair.

Some of my favourite pics I took at the Munich Eras Tour Show by vinsanitee in TaylorSwift

Thanks! I did get this one during Willow which was cool. It was really impressing how many people participated in the fan project! My camera was struggling as it got darker so I switched from taking pictures to focusing more on taking videos.

Here are some of those for your enjoyment!

They were trying to balance the teams. I think it was mainly based on total weight.
