Saw a very similar piece for sale some time ago by Dick Gordon Sports.  I posted a pic and Chris Williams responded that the Dimaggio looked authentic.  Given Chris' expertise w/Yankees sigs and Dick Gordon's outstanding reputation, I saw no reason to doubt the authenticity of Williams or Ali.  Why would anybody go through the hassle of obtaining one authentic signature only to forge the other two?  I know nothing about Ali autographs, but I know a fair amount about Ted Williams' signature.  And while it certainly looked a bit "off," to me, I could discount the possibility that it was signed late in his life when his eyesight/motor skills were at their poorest.  To reiterate, though:  It's the reputations of Chris Willaims and DIck Gordon Sports that's the difference maker for me.  I'm guessing this also is a Dick Gordon piece?  Even if not, I'm guessing that's where it originated...

good points and yes, I have seen Dimaggio signatures similar to this that are authentic.  I just found it odd, just looking at the piece on face value, to have the Williams and Dimag both so far off their typical signature.  This is a piece that no matter who sells it, or who authenticates it, I personally would not want to own.
