Canadagraphs thanks for the post.

As I thought, it is definitely a forge.

I got Cory a few times before he passed.

Looking at the ones I still have left, the C & the "teith" part of the signature don't look good.

His C on all the ones I got looks more like a broken long track speed skating oval than this C.
The "teith part" isn't as consistent, so theres room for error there. But mine dont look so rigid. theres a little more flow, a bit rounder in places.

Heres some examples of ones I've had or have.

I'd be inclined to avoid this one based of my experiences just because of the "C"

Not having a COA or having a COA is no big deal. Anyone can make COAS. It just depends on what company is standing behind the COA that matters. If they are reputable.

I dont know his signature well enough to help with it. But below is a photo with the signature you may buy and an authentic Cory sig. I guess you'll just have to decide whether you think it's real or not.

I will say I feel as if a few they are selling are fake. If you look closely you can kinda see the stops in some of the sigs like they forged it and tried really hard. But that's just my opinion.

This Person had this for $50 and then reduced its cost to $20 bidding. The No COA also raises a red flag. My gut is no but any insight would be appreciated
