these two cobbs are exactly, exactly alike, and no one can write their name exactly alike twice. because making the case that they are two different autographs would be the only way for them both to be good. but i dont see it.
if you have a good cobb, it will be revealed to be good, and bad will be bad. there are definitive ways to tell.

I'm actually out of town right now, but sure.....I can post pics of both Williams' autos when I return home in 8 days.
As for the Cobb, I have made up my mind that no matter what, I will keep the autograph for the simple reminder of this whole episode. In thirty years of collecting, I have never encountered this. It's the reason I've never sold an autograph without 3rd party authentication by PSA/DNA or JSA. I will have Joe Orlando & PSA/DNA investigate it & I will have another reputable authenticator examine it as well. One way or another, we will find out. My wife says I should frame it & deem it something quirky like "The Laser Cobb" when all is said & done.
P.S.- I bought the Cobb & the rest a couple years back & never sent the Cobb in for grading because of the charges to authenticate a Cobb signature. I had it graded during a PSA/DNA promotion in February of this year.
