Cobb had multiple versions. 99% of all authentic examples will have one of these types (see image).
You have to try to understand what Cobb was trying to do. He finished the last "b" and swung the pen out to the right for a quick moment to gain momentum for the leftward sweep that went out past the "T" in Ty (sometimes by a lot). He would then break hard back to the right in a quick, sudden motion. Then he would finish it by meeting the line in the middle with a curl and almost always two dots. He probably did this motion 500,000 times in his life, who knows...Muscle memory is strong.
Yours goes left and loops in a rounded manner that I've never seen in a Cobb signature. The ending then disappears somewhere near the center going towards the letters in the signature. Again, that is extremely atypical. The ending of Cobb also goes straight down.
