Description: Muhammad Ali signed 1996 Atlanta Olympics TORCH I attended a Collectors Show where Muhammad Ali was signing collectibles for $89 per signature. I also paid extra to get a Certificate of Authenticity with a registration number. The signing took place on November 23, 1996 in Calif. I had a friend take pictures of me handing Ali the torch. The second torch laying on the table was sold about 10 years ago. Those are my hands on the torch. The entire uncropped photo shows me looking at the camera so I can absolutely prove that I was there and I also have the original 35mm negatives. READ!! NOTE: PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) & PSA/DNA are divisions of Collectors Universe, Inc.) returned a Cassius Clay signed card from the same show as “Questionable Authentication”. As shown in the photos, I personally attended the 1996 show and have pictures of Ali personally signing the cards and torches. I was standing next to him while he signed my torches and these cards. All-American Authentications was the company doing the authentications at that time but is now out of business. I paid extra at the show to have these authentication certificates. I recently talked to Jeff Rosenberg, President and CEO of TriStar Productions, and after examining all my documents and pictures, he confirmed that these were genuine although he declined to furnish me with any written confirmation. One of the photos shows me standing next to Ali and I am holding the trading cards in my hand. I have the original 35mm negatives to prove these are genuine, unretouched photographs. The 8"x10" color photos you will receive were printed in 2007 from my negatives. As shown in the photos, all prints have a 2007 date on the backs. IF YOU PURCHASE THIS TORCH, BE AWARE THAT PSA MAY NOT AUTHENTICATE THE SIGNATURE EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING I HAVE *PROVES* IT TO BE A GENUINE SIGNATURE.
