Authenticity is Everything
Paul McCartney Rush Signed CD
I just saw this one on eBay and nearly threw up after seeing it. But this one comes with an ACOA Authentication and it does show up on their website when you search for the number https://www.ebay.com/itm/133783946046

Trouble is...it's probably legit.

This likely falls into the category of "who" obtained this autograph versus the "ink" only. It's a rushed street graph. When it comes to TPA services, they usually won't stray to far from the cookie cutter typical signatures. Gives me hope that someday some TPA will acknowledge my rushed Paul McCartney signed ticket although I won't hold my breath. This is also atypical although signed in the wee hours in NY following the Concert for New York City in the wake of 9/11. I love my "street graph".

Even if good who would want this.

Who's to say? It definitely is not worth premium dollars. There is always a market for less than desirable authentic signatures. Street graphers sometimes get a dog of a signature. It's still authentic.
As for the McCartney I own. It came from a highly respected source whom I have a written statement on the when and how he obtained this signature in person. I believe his story. I am proud to own it. As for if anyone else would want it I will modify a quote from Gone With The Wind; "Frankly, I don't give a damn!".

I was actually talking about the OP.

Honestly, I was also referring to the OP. I know those guys at ACOA. They would not have certed that Paul without some additional information than the signature alone. Probably could not pry the "why" they did it with a crowbar.
I agree having their cert does not turn it into a $1,000 item but does give it some uptick value. How much? Who knows but more than it was worth without the COA for sure.
I once owned a Harrison Ford signature that ACOA would not touch and it was obtained by K9 graphs. It sold which proves ugly graphs will sell. You just never know in this business. Sometimes having friends in the right places sure does help.

Having good sigs is better IMHO.

Obviously, but not every collector has the financial ability to purchase a prime example. But, too often, authentic signatures are rendered fake when they are not. I found the OP example an exception to the norm by TPA services. It truly is questionable.
My McCartney is signed on a significant ticket. It may possibly be the only one in existence. It was signed after a long and exhausting night for Sir Paul. He certainly had to shorten his signature to fit on the ticket. What fascinates me is not just his signature but what it is on. A piece of Rock and Roll history, IMHO.

Agreed.

This is apparently where I differ with some collectors.
I believe that a signature has to be not just authentic but also authenticatable.
Many "street" autographs don't qualify.

I believe you have full right to set the criteria of your collection. I am not trying to convince or sell you anything. But, the OP has been TPA authenticated. Is that one clear cut? There is no "right" way to collect. It varies by each individual collector.
