Last week ebay seller cbeone listed 5 Muhammad ali autographs
I told him that 3 were for sure forgeries and the others I couldn't see properly because of the pictures. He asked me which ones were fake and "how you might know I wasn't standing there when he signed them"
I sent him these 3 links

His reply - "There ya go! Thanks for your efforts but as I suspected,. you are mistaken. Have a nice day"
I kept asking which ones he had signed in his presence and he wouldn't answer, of course. Later that night I got this message from him "Sold the items in question plus one. Looks like I'll be ordering my new Z06 sooner than I thought. Happy Holidays."
Although later he said he was "yanking my chain" and took them down until "eBay figures out what's wrong with their system" (wateva that means) I don't trust this guy.
He just listed a few more ali including this well known and obvious forgery

Told him it was fake and he said this "I suppose you have the whole story as to why? I might have a surprise for you.."
I told him it was the most common and well known ali fake in history. I asked what his surprise was, knowing he was now going to have to lie to get out if it, and he of course was off to bed lol.
He has other autographs too please look at them and state your opinions. Thanks
