I purchased this autograph from an extremely reliable autograph store near me. However, they themselves traded for the autograph, so if it's not authentic, it would have been out of their hands.
Any ideas?

I just wanted to comment on this comment you said that I quoted. I don't agree that it would be "out of their hands.." if they did the proper research and asked the pros about it, (and not trade fakes before getting the answers) it wouldn't be out of their hands. IMO it would be their fault for trading an item that's not real.

A valid point. They've been running the company for a long time though, and they're trustworthy people, so I'd have to say if they were tricked, it was by a really good trickster. They only do trades with specific people and companies, not just random people off the street. In general, I'd say you're absolutely right, but in this specific case, I trust that if they traded for a fake autograph, it was by someone who really knew what they were doing and they simply made a mistake.

I actually have some doubts. Portions look good but I have issue with the 'P' and I have never seen him end his signature like that. Every 'full' IP signature I have ends in a certain manner. None like the one you posted.

Unfortunately I only have 7 IP examples of him to work with so it limits my options a bit and have only studied him a little.

Who is the dealer? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to mention it publicly.

Here's an authentic one that I have for comparison:

When I look at it I get a vibe about it too, but mine tells me the Chris looks way off. But I'm not too familiar with his signature.

It looks similar to the one you posted, at least to me, but I'm no good at this stuff.
The company I got it from is a small business that mostly deals with sports autographs, but there's a COA from "Hollywood Memories" that came with it.
I know better than to automatically assume that because there's a COA that it's legit, though, so I wanted to ask

Unless it's a UACC registered dealer and they are for sure reputable there is a high chance it's not authentic. Even UACC registered dealers doesn't mean your going to get something authentic haha. But yeah, they do look similar but there are little things that don't look right at all. Like the CH and S in Chris are different. But I'm not entirely knowledgable in his signature. Just going by what I've seen and what I have.

Google hollywood memories autographs. Maybe you can read some stuff about them.
