It does not look like a joke to me. The signature is a decent forgery to the unknowing, done by a serious forger in my opinion. And getting a COA from the aforementioned company does not seem to be hard to do. After all, it does take a major effort to get on the banned list at ebay.
One thing I have learned about forgers, in all my years in this hobby, they might be skilled at what they do but the majority are a pretty dumb bunch.
