Do you think these are authentic?

I've obtained several in-person autographs from both men over the past 25 years, and these look to be bang-on in terms of authenticity. Tyson went through a phase very late in his career when he routinely dated everything he signed, and it has carried over to this day. I would venture to guess your Ali glove was signed sometime between 1990-95. Post '95, as his difficulties with Parkinson's increased, Ali's autograph got much less legible and today he no longer signs. Nice examples!

Sean,

Board member Travrosty seems to frequently proclaim that he is very knowledgeable in boxing signatures so you might shoot him a message.

Take care,

Mike
