The first item you are looking at is an autographed Muhammad Ali boxing glove from my late father's collection. My father purchased this glove on November 8, 1994 as indicated on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA); the COA will be included in this auction. This glove is in excellent condition and the autograph is a great location.
Additionally, this auction includes an autographed 8x10 photo of "Iron" Mike Tyson. This autograph is in excellent condition and also is accompanied with a COA.
The last item in this auction is a framed autograh and inscription from Larry Holmes. This inscription (handwritten by Larry Holmes) reads:
"To Sandy, Your hope brought me back in my fight with Jerry. Love, Larry Holmes"
Let me explain the story behind the authograph as I was told. My father and his friend, Sandy, were friends with Larry Holmes after his boxing career. One day Sandy explained to Mr. Holmes that even though he was a large underdog against Jerry Quarry, she still felt inclined to bet $5 on him. Mr. Holmes went on to score a huge upset and beat Jerry Quarry that evening. Months after Sandy told Mr. Holmes the story behind the Quarry fight, he surprised her with this framed $5 bill with an inscription. Mr. Holmes said the least he could do for Sandy was repay her the $5 for cheering for him that momentus night.
These original autographs are perfect for any boxing enthusiast! I will also be posting other vintage autographs and items over the next few weeks so keep checking back frequently. Please feel free to contact me for additional information or pictures and I will attempt to accommodate you in a timely manner.
Good luck Bidders!
