Muhammad Ali opinions, please.

Hi all... informed opinions are appreciated...  :-)

 

I received this through the mail, January 2000. I know it's not an Autopen, but not sure if he used a secretary to sign.

 

 

I purchased this and was told it was a TTM from around 1990:

In reviewing the second one, it appears it may be an Autopen. The beginning stroke of the M doesn't match, but it appears real close everywhere else. 

 

If it is an Autopen, it's the smoothest one I've ever seen. I can usually spot the Autopen shake and stop and start dots from 50 yards. This has none of that.

Well, I think I've answered my own question about my Ali (lower pic). Here it is compared to an Autopen. Damn. It really fooled me. I've never seen an Autopen so smooth. Usually they are shaky as hell.

 

 

I'm still holding out hope for the first exemplar I got TTM.  <fingers crossed>

I obtained an evaluation from Shawn, the guy who runs AliAutos.com, regarding the speedbag pose pic. (Obtained TTM by me.)

 

Likely authentic. 

 

<happy dance>
