June 3-10 Autograph Fishing Report: Ali Passes; Catch of the Day: Jim Morrison

What's Going On In The Deep Waters of The Vast Autograph Ocean

In a weekly post I will try to go over some things observed in the industry. Feel free to comment, agree or disagree. Some points may have been discussed prior as this will be weekly touching only the main issues in the autograph universe.

For the week of June 3- June 10th 2016.

Ali passes. This is obviously the big news of the week. How will the market react? Many see his items like Mantle, but as a free signer his whole life, what will we see of his items moving forward?

Personally I believe the vintage items will retain & increase in value, while the sad scribbles will drop. With dealers having thousands of chicken scratch type autographs from Ali, these will flood the market. Vintage & quality are always key to a growing collection no matter the platform.

Where do you see Ali's autograph in 6 months opposed to 5 years from now?
How will you remember the Champ? Many of us have met him & enjoyed his personable nature, share your experience!

Featured Catch of The Week:

A full name Jim Morrison autograph. Easily one of the toughest Music autographs in the Hobby. Share your Morrison/ The Doors Autograph!

Comment by Jared on June 10, 2016 at 11:35am: Thanks, I need a vintage Robby Krieger if you have any laying around!

Comment by BallroomDays67 on June 10, 2016 at 11:52am: I'd like to find one as well. I don't think I've seen any Doors-era full name autographs from him. I've only seen his last name included on contracts, sign-in sheets and a check.

Comment by Paul on June 10, 2016 at 12:34pm: It looks real to me, any idea of where it was signed, Jared?
I caught a fish yesterday, Mother love bone , set.

Comment by Paul on June 10, 2016 at 12:35pm: Will you be selling the morrison?

Comment by Jared on June 10, 2016 at 12:40pm: I don't know much about the story of it. It came with signatures from Jim, Jay & John but no Robby. Eventually I will have this listed for sale, I really want to find a vintage Robby, I had no idea he was so tough.
