Ali- real or forged card
 

I've owned this for many years. Comparing it to other 1992 Classic this is the neatest Ali I have seen with no trace of a parkinsonian type signature. I was going to sell it but want to make sure everyone thinks it is real. Opinion greatly appreciated. I got it from an auction house. Pack Congratulations you have just received this extremely Limited Classic Autograph cardAttachment 451910

Please show the card back.

Looks like the 'basic' signed Classic card. Yours looks like it was signed early in the day. Mine looks worse (note how thick the Sharpie is on mine; the pen was worn down, as was the champ):

Are these going for much? I haven't looked at them in a while but definitely thought they were a great bargain given the subject and the signature quality relative to cards signed over the rest of his life.

I rarely ever speculate on Ali autographs, but if that's from a legitimate card signing session, that's gotta be one of the cleanest early 90's Ali sigs I've ever seen.

I was gonna put it on ebay or sell privately but since it is so neat and clean wanted to make sure there aren't alot of forgeries floating around before I do.

there were hundreds (thousands?) of these fake ones with the "congratulations" back distributed a few years back out of new jersey. they had a very distinctive style and didn't come with the thick lucite holder and paper COA from classic/scoreboard. it began in NJ, but circulated down to florida and many were consigned to probstein. there were so many of these they bottomed out at $40-$50.

if you have gotten the card many years ago then it should've come with the complete set. you can compare styles with worthpoint.
