Every single one of them unless you have a letter that it came from Ali himself or his family. Find something else to do with your money. Fund a business. Help a charity.

What if it comes with a photo of Ali signing the item?

Probably won't help much given when it was signed but this one is authentic. He signed this for me in July of 1971.

There was a huge scandal recently that was covered in a television investigation where a dealer was caught photoshopping the photos and inserting the item for sale into the photo. Someone found the real pictures and they were busted.

You also don't know how many photos Ali signed at that session. Maybe he signed only 100, but the dealer uses the photo for hundreds more.
