To me, there's a difference between expensive and valuable...and value is in the eye of the beholder. For example, I collect baseball hof'ers in a hof book. Lee MacPhail is the oldest living hof'er and he's in poor health so the window for me getting him to sign and the oportunity is quite narrow. For me, he is one of the most valuable. Jordan and Jeter are both expensive and popular and many people want them as individual sigs and along with team sigs so they are also very valuable.

What about Ali? Especially that he can no longer produce viable autographs due to his illness.

an ali cut or simple autograph on an islamic pamphlet is about 150 dollars, thats his cheapest autograph, but it goes to a few hundred for a nice unpersonalized 8 x 10 and more for a nice 16 x 20. the good thing for collectors is he has signed copiously for over 40 years and has signed probably a couple million autographs, more than any human being has ever signed in human history, so there is no shortage. there is a great demand, but his autograph is not rare, just will cost a bit. When he passes, prices will double or triple, but that will just be a bump in prices due to emotion, not reality. reality is he really cant sign anymore, so it's basically the same in terms of overall autographs out in the marketplace, there really isn't going to be any more.
