Would you believe these were signed in the same sitting?
I'm saying don't disregard Ali's auto so easily.
I've seen people miss out on legit autos on this site because people are too quick to disregard cause it's not the "norm"

Do what you feel is right, there's no way I'd buy these unless there was actual proof of him signing. Only Ali items I'd buy at this point would be either through Steiner or OA.

As I said on not 100%
But It just annoys me when people disregard something so easily
As I've said I've seen many good items on here get missed cause of someone disregarding something they don't know

I'm disregarding it because I think it's fake.

Hi Carlos, You bring up some real good and valid points. I have been collecting Muhammad Ali autographs and items since the 1970's and after all these years ,I struggle with his signature.What has made things worse is the forgeries out there. They had to the confusion. I agree people pass on a legit autograph because of the bad stuff in the hobby.You get to the point in not knowing who to trust.

Now back to these two signatures I posted. I posted them to get other people's opinion and am not sure myself what they are.I lean towards fake.If you read what you said about Ali signing at the same seating or same time period ,his signature is different. Look at these 2 ,they are almost a match.One thing I did not say is that this seller had 4 different Muhammad Ali items ,all with the same looking signature and authenticated by Frank Garo.He had to pull them from Ebay because Garo is banned. So this leads to a question ,If you felt you had a legit Muhammad Ali autograph ,why would you go to a banned authenticator ?

Carlos, I appreciate your time and your opinion.The Ali examples you showed, are those in your collection ? Thanks again, Don

Carlos, NONE of them have an M like the ones in this thread. I refer to that website for Ali signatures frequently. His M's are one of the keys to authenticity. these do not have it.
