Auto COA help

I posted in the Autograph forum, but it appears to be completely dead. Though it's not a sports-related auto, I'd appreciate any opinions on an AWA COA (Al Wittnebert) being legit.

I have no first hand knowledge, but a quick Google search revealed this.

A COA for the most part is irrelevant as far as whether an item is authentic or not, no matter who it's from. Judge the autograph on it's own merit. I've yet to see ANY dealer that issues COA's, or ANY third party authenticator that issues COA's, that doesn't make mistakes from time to time. No one's COA makes a bad autograph good, and no one's COA makes a good autograph bad, although COA's can and do have a significant impact on the liquidity and marketability of autographs.

Post a scan of the item in question and maybe someone can help you.

COAs are only worth the paper their printed on. Anyone can make them, and it's not hard to make them look fancy.

I've seen so many variations of his signature certified by JSA & PSA/DNA, it's one I honestly have no idea which ones are genuine.
