PMA Authentication - real or fake?

20251027_183810.jpg

Good evening, everyone.

I recently purchased a few items from a seller in Spain that came with COAs from Paul Miller Authentication (PMA) — www.pmauthentication.com. I’ve noticed this specific COA appearing quite frequently on various Spanish memorabilia sites lately.

I am attaching photos of the items below. For the Rafael Nadal piece, I’ve included a photo of the COA itself: it features a holographic sticker in the bottom right corner that matches the sticker on the item. All the codes I checked match the database on their website.

Regardless of the paperwork, I’d love to get your expert eyes on the signatures themselves. How do they look to you?

  • Green Ink: Rafael Nadal

  • Red Ink: Xavi Hernandez

I have a few others as well, but I’ll start with these. Looking forward to your feedback on whether these look authentic or if I should be concerned.

Thanks in advance!

I've said all I can really. I am not familiar with these signers or the authenticator. From what I did look at those two signatures seem "off."
