My Ali

Would someone take a look at this Ali auto and give me their opinion? I got it in the mid 90's and it was authenticated by the first company I think did authentication. Score board or score card in the 70's. I have it upstairs in a fireproof box. Thanks for your opinions. Scott

imo late 80s early 90s signature but silver sharpie was not introduced until 2002.

if other silver fine tip markers were around in the late 80s early 90s then i feel it could be authentic, if not someone has had a really good go.

that is what i used, the style of the signature matches the dates ive said, but the problem is the silver sharpie being used 10 years before it introduction.

Thanks for all your imput. I have been using a permanent silver marker since 1992. I used it to mark my Finns when I go on scuba diving trips. I don't know if it was a sharpie but I used silver because I have black Finns. Does anyone know when scoreboard went out of business? Someone told me around 91 or 92.
