Ok. Big news for me. I just got off the phone with the President of Park West. He asked if I would like a refund of $500 or a "legit" Ali, one with a picture if him signing. (I guess he heard ill take anything as long as I have a picture of the signing.) I said ill take a legit Ali, as long as I get an email picture of the one I'm getting, and can opt out and get the refund if I don't like. He said ok, he's going to have a sales rep contact me tomorrow.

Muhammad Ali Enterprises has partnered with OnlineAuthentics to ensure verification of memorabilia signed by Muhammad Ali.

Each item signed by The Champ is witnessed and recorded by a trained verification expert from Online Authentics. All registered items then have a unique number assigned which corresponds to the number on a unique Certificate of Authenticity paired with each signed item. The COA and its registration number allow collectors to verify their items by simply entering the registration number into the Online Authentics website. Each item has been personally signed by Ali and is not an autopen signature.

This does look good DB. I noticed all of Steiners Ali's have OA stickers also. The down side is I understand that OA will register pretty much anything on their site, real or not. Being able to pull it up and look at it may make you think something is real when it may not be?

No Chad I didn't. I negotiated for around six months for my $500 refund or exchange. I chose the refund over the exchange. Now this may be 100% authentic, but this company just so shady. I went the safe way. BUT they sent me a letter of confidentiality that would blow your mind. I would have to sign for refund or exchange. So even I can figure out their scheme. Pay people like me back and sign a letter to shut us up. Keep the past from coming back to bite them. Now I'm not selling out for $500 but I totally understand the people who get back big money. If by reading this I could help someone from getting burned, that would be worth it for me. Not signing away my right to free speech. What would this site be without that?
