Ali- real or forged card

[D. Bergin]

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.

Please note that this particular card is one of numerous (Jeter, Kobe, Mays, Koufax, Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas, etc) COA-Embedded cards that have been counterfeited and forged.
