Real nice Muhammad Ali addition, is it legit?

Posting this for public opinions regarding the authencity of this autograph. The COA is by Gateway Stamp Company and from everything I've read on the internet it is legit and reputable.

Please let me know if you have heard anything good or bad and also your thoughts!

If this is legit I'll most likely remove it from the frame and send it to PSA\DNA to be slabbed.

Gonna share this for what it worth

Hey, that's a ball with the signatures of every member of the 1939 Yankees," Bussineau replied. "I'm selling it for $1,000. If that were really Gehrig's signature, I could probably get $4,000. Besides, it's not mine. I'm selling it for another dealer."

An even more obvious example of a forgery at the convention was on a postcard, manufactured by the Gateway Stamp Co. of St. Louis, that honored former baseball star Reggie Jackson. The card had two entirely different autographs of Jackson stacked one on top of the other, along with his picture and a brief text describing his exploits. It was selling for $45.

"What happened was, the cards were originally signed by his secretary," said Tom Wiley, owner of the company. "When I found out about it, I was livid. I had paid Reggie to sign them, and I sold them thinking that they had his autograph on them.

I heard different responses on them. Get it verified and you will find out if it legit or not.

Thanks for sharing that Don. I looked into the costs to get it verified. Psa charges $100 plus $46 return shipping. So $146 US equals $200 CAD. Add that to wait I paid for the peice brings me close to eliminating the added value I would gain busting it out of the frame and sending it in. I feel quite confident its legit.

And there's this, I have no doubts this piece is authentic, i'm quite pleased.

I believe aliautos.net have the best examples of his signature changes throughout the years.
