Anthony<<<I believe the point is that you cannot authenticate Ali's signature in its current state>>
why not? If it was an on site authentication, and he did indeed sign it, why can't it be authenticated as such? Any notary would.
It's certainly not the nicest signature, but it is his. As sad is it is seeing the decline of such it great person, it would be worse to heap an indignity on him by refusing to recognize that he did indeed sign it when it was done right in front of an authenticator.
Doesn't mean someone is going to pay as much for that sig as one done before his tragic decline, but it was still signed by him.
PSA has replaced Spence with Mike Gutierrez. I don't collect autographs, but for some who do that might be considered an upgrade.
