Certificate of Authenticity signed by John Candy on April 2, 1993, a year and 2 days before his untimely death at age 43 while shooting a movie. At the time, Candy had gotten seriously into sports, as co-owner with Wayne Gretzky of the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. The COA was for a baseball bat he signed for the Special Olympics. Signature in black marker is a bold and sprightly 10/10 -- the nicest autograph around of the roly-poly comic and character actor. On 8.5 x 11" Centerfield Collectibes letterhead that is NRMT w/2 light folds. Long live Yosh Schmenge!
