Thank you very much Ken. In your opinion, would it be worth the time and money to have an autograph from Madison Sports examined by a third party?

Ali is the most forged autograph of anyone.......Personally, I wouldn't touch one with a Madison Sports COA

Does not look good to me. His post-Parkinson's signature is smaller and more typical of his diagnosis.
I have authentic sigs that I can obtained in person both before and after his Parkinson's diagnosis. They don't look very close. I will post pics later.

I had a bad feeling about this signed piece. I have some other signed Ali items without COA's that I am going to turn over to PSA for authentication. This item, along with many others were given to my Dad years ago. He was a Manager at one of the local Farmers Market in the area and one of the merchants used to give him boxing items. My Dad loved Ali. My Dad passed away a few years ago and my Mom is starting to downsize. She asked me to sell this for her. I guess the good thing is that it didn't cost my dad anything.

I certainly appreciate the comments regarding this piece. Although I would have loved to turn over a nice pile of cash to my Mom, it's not worth selling someone an item that is forged.

Thanks again for all your help.

The forger of that Ali was John Olson who owned Madison Sports
