Need opinions on an Ali auto.
 
Got this photo a number of years ago when Ali was still signing at shows. (I did not personally get it.) I always assumed it was ok but with all the problems today with his auto, thought I'd post it for opinions. Thanks.

By no means an Ali expert. Never got him in person so can't really pass judgement on your sig. If good, yours would be a pre-Parkinsons's era signature.

However here is a sticker from a book "signing" Ali did for his bio by Hauser. You got in line, and an assistant would place the pre-signed sticker in the book and the Champ would press the sticker in place. It was kind of hokey but at least you got to meet Ali.

Hauser was there too and would also sign the book if you wanted.

Not having seen Ali actually sign the stickers, once again, can't be 100% sure he signed them but it does seem to match well with ones other have deemed good from the era.

I have 5 autographs from ali and it doesnt match any of them
check this site out to compare http://www.aliautos.net/examples.html
For what it's worth, I dont like the M or the ali.

Moose - Thank you.

Toyman - Thank you for the link I sw that page a while ago but couldn't find it. I see what you're saying about the M so unless I hear differenty, I'm assuming the auto isn't legit.

I am far from an Ali expert but I have never seen an Ali look like that before.

Does not look like the Ali I had signed in person.
