An authentic Muhammad Ali Signed photo will generally cost £300 +, you can expect to pay considerably more for anything signed Cassius Clay which he stopped signing in the 1960's and Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in the early 70's

Okay this question has many answers to it. First we'll deal with an authenticated signature vs. a signature that was obtained during a chance encounter. Most people know about Muhammad's physical condition and his battle with Parkingson's Disease. In 2002 he stopped making public autograph appearances. He was still doing private signings but now that has even stopped. So getting an autograph from him will only happen during a chance encounter (and getting through his security staff). Any authenticated signature from one of the main autograph (Sports Memorabilia) companies demands a massive premium on the autograph. Companies like Steiner Sports, Mounted Memories, Upper Deck and Tri-Star to name a few are examples. Signatures on photos and cards are much cheaper than on boxing gloves, robes, and trunks. Photos now command in excess of $800 (authenticated) for 8 x 10's. Larger photos are even more. (16x20, 20x24, and 30x40 are the most common sizes) Authenticated gloves start at $1000 and go up from there depending on signature clarity and placement. Trunks start at $1500, while Robes begin at $2000 and up. Always understand that Ali is still the most famous and beloved man on the planet and there are still millions of Ali fans. Signatures that were obtained in person during a chance encounter bring approximately half of the values listed depending on condition. There are other factors to consider when valuing an Ali signature....there are premiums put on older vintage (larger and nicer) signatures before his illness became very apparent (in the 60's, 70's, and 80's) Also there is the question of the Cassius Clay signatures which command 50% more than his Ali autograph. These are the rarest of the rare and only several hundred (vintage or later) are known to exist. This discussion can go on for awhile...there are many aspects that I did not cover but Ali's autograph values have exploded in the last 10 years (from $150 for a glove to well over $1000) His value will continue to increase as more and more of his signatures are gobbled up by wealthy collectors who buy massive quantities of sigs therefore increasing the value and reducing the number of Autographs available. These prices are skyrocketing every year and these numbers are only good for 2008. Hope this helps Okay this question has many answers to it.
