Muhammad Ali autographs

There are tons of Ali signatures on eBay and all over the net. I bought one signed while he was still fighting on an SI cover from 1976. But with his disability, his signature has changed, so many are questionable. I sent a few to PSA and they were turned down, although the seller said he personally witnessed them. What gives? Cassius Clay ones are obviously the most sought after. I'm looking for a Thomas Hauser book signed I can trust. But where to begin... Any thoughts or reactions?

Maybe this will work. Do you think it's real?

can't see the entire autograph. does the A in Ali actually go up to his nose? If so, I would question it.

I have an in-person Ali, personalized to me, that was signed while he was in exile, in the late 60's. He also added "world boxing champ", which was cool because he actually was NOT at that point in time.

I will try to post this, but looking at the signature that started this thread, I see definite similarities, things that a forger would probably overlook.

No it's not the "A" going into his nose it's the "d". The lighting was bad on the photo.

this is the 60's signature Ali I was referring to previously. My parents obtained it for me at Cape Cod, while they were in a restaurant, and Ali walked in with his group.
