Muhammad Ali: Superior Autographed Everlast Boxing Glove with Authentication from James Spence & Associates (1942-2016) Muhammad Ali nicknamed "The Greatest", one of the most significant and celebrated figures of the 20th century and is frequently cited as the greatest athlete of all time. It is impossible to describe the impact he had in the last half of the 20th Century, but all anyone need do is watch his lighting of the Olympic Flame, all noise drowned out by tens of thousands cheering non-stop and the thrill for those watching at home.
Because of his legendary status, his signature is forged unlike any other sports figures save for Babe Ruth and the internet is awash in fakes. Goldberg Auctions is pleased to offer this fine example certified authentic and with a Letter of Authenticity from James Spence and Associates. Signature is clean, bold and legible with the JSA hologram cert sticker just right of the Everlast logo with the LOA shipping with glove. We highly recommend this glove be displayed under UV resistant plexi to maintain the integrity and color of signature and glove. Mint. Estimated Value $1,200 - UP
