Aka Cassius Clay Muhammad Ali autographs

Are these things real? I am finding these everywhere and I was under the understanding Muhammad would never write Cassius Clay? Does anyone know?

The latest one I found I think is clearly a fake and I was going to hide the Coa but here it is anyway.

Wow thanks for that Steve. Do you remember what year that was? Just very interested in the whole history of Muhammad to find out when he would happily writes Cassius Clay when he was so against the name early on. Good to know someone did actually get one of these in person. I was convinced they all must be fake so thanks a lot for that.

He did start signing some items with his birth name. and despite the fact that I have no confidence in either of the names on that coa, this does bear a strong resemblance to authentic Ali signatures.
