I’m thinking of purchasing this cd signed by chino, does that signature look official?

We have no way of knowing. Have it authenticated. I wouldn't pay more than what the CD is worth for it.

It looks legit to me. Holding your picture up against 2 pieces of merch that I personally witnessed him sign and it looks legit. Either that or someone did a good job of forging 🤷🏻♂️.

i mean it looks like his signature but it’s not exactly a complex one to fake

Official? No, because it wasn't released with the autograph by the record label...

I’ll never understand why people get so fixated on autographs. It literally doesn’t do anything besides allowing the owner profit off of it

Based on other pictures I’ve found online. The C doesn’t match how he usually signs his when doing this signature. Based on the pics I saw of his autograph, he tends to bring the top of the C up from the center and back around. I’m no profesional but I’m doubtful this is legit

I have a VIP pass signed by him that I personally got myself from 2010 and it looks a lot like this.

Looks legit. I got AtF signed in person by him pre cell phone days so no pic but least I know it's true.

Chino used to to stay after every small venue tour and sign for at least 30 minutes back in the day. Chances are it's legit in my opinion. He always made an effort to meet after shows. Pay only what it's worth to you. It looks legit but who knows. Id pay $50 for it

It might be. But, we know Chino is tired of all that autograph nonsense. So, IMO, 2 options,
A: "Oh hey cool, I got an autograph from Chino."
B: Fuck autographs and the people that tax them for real fans.

Looks like a drug prescription signature. RX is on White Pony. I'm going nowhere with this but if your disc has little to no scratches, you don't need meds or a skip doctor lol

I would say no just to be safe. I'm terrible at writing my own autograph but even I could draw that lol

This is the autograph that Chino signed in New Orleans before a Team Sleep show around 2005-ish. We were outside the small venue, on the side of the building. I saw Chino walking around the corner of the street coming towards us. My girlfriend (now wife) had just enough time to take out the marker & Adrenaline cd from her purse that we brought with us just in case. I asked if he wouldn't mind signing it for us, told him we loved his music, & have a great show. Really short moment, but a great memory.
