Idlike to see what AC has to say about Ms Rose' signed item. James, you say it doesn't look real...personally I have zero experience with MA sigs, but I'd bet AC would know. You should always carry a heavy trust on a collector who specializes in one or two celebs. Also, I'm sure Ms Rose is a careful buyer, so I'm sure she looked into it James...AC, if you get the time, could you speak on Sandra's piece? I woukdnt mind having a MA sig someday, so this will definitely help in the learning process.

Ali has Parkinson's Syndrome. So his sig looks shaky but it's still consistent.

Thanks Ms Rose. When I do decide to grab an Ali sig, ill be sure to fun it past you guys first before bidding

Mercury man I personally would not have bought the photo unless I knew a bit more behind it like when, where it was signed etc. I went on to the sellers site and sorry Sandra if the images on the site are the photo proof they supply I wouldn't have bought it as I did not see Ali signing anything at all he was just standing with the seller.

Sandra, I want to add that I would not use your photo as an exemplar to compare authentic Ali signatures. It is very non-typical.

I don't know what you mean by atypical, terrier8HOF. His 2012 and 2013 autographs look consistent to me.

Thanks for the info, AC. So it doesn't look like a normal Ali? Would you mind if when I get back from vacation I email you privately to get some genuine Ali Sig pics for future reference?

Thanks for your concern, AC, but I trust Bryan. I'm very familiar with Ali's autograph. I've met Ali numerous times since the 1990s. He was just in Atlanta a few months ago. As a popular blogger, I've met just about every celebrity who comes through Atlanta, but I never personally ask for autographs. My research on Michael Jackson autos brought me to Autograph Live, where I found Bryan's website.

I see him on occasion in Scottsdale. I don't hound him but I have seen him sign for people at the place I usually see him. Normally I just wave and smile at him. The signatures I do see of his are very shaky these days.

He was just here in Atlanta a few months ago. I saw him at Saks with Evander Holyfield. His hands are very shaky. You can't compare a 2003 Ali autograph with a 2013 one.
