Default Any chance this Cobb is authentic?

Hey guys.

I've had this Cobb signature for a while now. I was just reading through the thread on Al Stump and was hoping to get a few opinions on the authenticity of my piece. Thanks a lot. Always appreciated.

doesn't look great. I'm far from any kind of expert but I always thought the line underneath should originate from the last B in Cobb. In yours, it looks like he drew another line underneath the name which doesn't seem consistent with other examples.

But, again, I'm no expert.

"Cobb" is too deliberate. Like someone drew it very slowly. Should flow smoothly. Also line under not correct.

I also hate to be the bearer of bad news, but i don't think it is authentic. I have several cobb's, some of which are legal documents and checks.

There are many examples out there to compare with, sometimes his auto can be difficult, but the T just gives this signature away. I agree the signature does not look good, We bought a Cobb at auction on an old match book and that even matched well with auction examples. It ended up just a well done forgery
