Thoughts on this Cobb auto?

The signature is a bad fake.

A good and astute comment about the Christmas greeting card. This is what I like to refer to as an “item of opportunity.” Meaning that a forger used it because it is something that *could* have been signed by the person in question, and something that was likely obtained inexpensively at a flea market. Same thing when you see fake signatures on dollar bills, old books not related to the signer, etc. Because of the date of the item, the person *could* have signed it.
