One of the most iconic pieces of sports and cultural history is about to go under the hammer. Muhammad Ali’s signed military draft card from the Vietnam War era will be auctioned off next month, with Christie’s estimating its value between $3 million and $5 million.

Ali, known as “The Greatest”, famously refused to be drafted into the U.S. military during the Vietnam War, a decision that forever changed his career and legacy. His stance against the draft was based on his religious beliefs and opposition to the war. Ali’s refusal led to him being stripped of his heavyweight title and banned from boxing for several years during the prime of his career.

The draft card itself is a powerful reminder of Ali’s courage to stand by his convictions, even when it came at great personal and professional cost. Dated March 14, 1967, the document carries historic weight, symbolizing not only a pivotal moment in Ali’s life but also a turbulent era in American history.

Collectors and fans are already buzzing about the auction, as memorabilia connected to Ali has always attracted immense interest. This card represents more than just sports history — it’s a piece of social and political history tied to the civil rights movement and the fight for personal freedom.

When the gavel falls, this draft card could set records, further cementing Muhammad Ali’s legacy as not only one of the greatest athletes but also one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.
