Hi Shwan, thank you for the answer. As I'm trying to learn more about Ali auto's I would like to know why in your opinion the autograph wasn't authentic...
Indeed the seller isn't registered as an Ebay member anymore, then you know enough.

Hello Marc, welcome to the forums. Just about any auction house that sells autographs will have Ali signatures at one time or another. See if you can do a search and just go through them. Some auction houses off the top of my head are Lelands, Huggins & Scott, and Heritage.

Hi and welcome to the group.
It goes something like this. In the 60's Ali signed his 'd' with the down stroke to end it. Sometime in the early 70's he stopped, and ended his signature with only the upward stroke. He started signing his 'd's with the down stroke once again in the late 90's.
This is not exact as you will find variations within the time frames I mentioned.
Here are some examples:
1965
1975
1987
1991
Here's an example of one in 1994 ending in the up stroke.

I have been looking a many autos in various aution sites and have bought some. I see a changes in some of the "d's" with the signatures. Some are straight up and then down or back a bit while others are just up with a curve inward. The rest of the auto seems simular with the exception of the d. Does anyone know if he changed his signature at some point?
