Authenticity is Everything
Beatles and Cassius Clay autographed glove
The story is that the Beatles and Cassius Clay signed two boxing gloves, February 18th, 1964, when they met. One glove was auctioned some time ago. The other is with a memorabilia store I visited a few days ago. I had never heard of this item, and have a picture. The signatures of the Beatles look very good! Of course, signing on a boxing glove has got to pose some problems for an authenticator. Has anyone heard of these gloves? What is the opinion of our experts? I asked for provenance. Owner will only say it was obtained in a "collection" and the store (which is well known) will give COA and guarantee. They will not say who obtained the autographs or the circumstances. The glove is being sold, authenticated by a "well known" authenticator we all know. What I find interesting, is that the signatures look very good, and seem to compare very well with the Beatles autographs from around 1964.

The signed glove in question isn't being claimed to be a fight worn glove.
Also Ali used different gloves all the time, brands, sizes etc so why would they match this?

They supposedly signed the glove the month of the Clay/Liston fight. But as I said, they could have signed whatever gloves were around. My other four points mention more significant concerns, though.

With all due respect just because the glove is different from his fight glove means nothing. I know if at least 6 brands of gloves that Ali used,
Here are pics of other signed clay gloves. Certified. - Attachments: No photo uploads here

For some reason I can't reply to your comment Steve. If you look at the pics of the encounter Ali was as wearing everlast gloves. As I said the glove brand doesn't matter .
