Thoughts on a Cassius Clay
1 Attachment(s)
I came across this Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston auto. I am not familiar with Ali's Clay signatures and how much they are worth, but thought it was interesting.
Can anyone give some thoughts on this? |
I am no expert but The few that I have seen were not as shaky as that one.
|
LOL! That is just precious.
I hope they're not asking a lot for it. :D |

Is it just me or are those written in the same hand? I am really just starting to learn about sigs so please forgive my ignorance.

That Liston is soooooo bad, he would never add an inscription to anything he signed.
When I start to see more and more of this kind of stuff I just feel that the bad guys have won this battle. :(:(:(:mad::mad::mad: |

It would be a very large amount of money if real but it sure looks like it came straight out of CC. |

This is so ridiculous it's not even funny. Liston in sharpie, that is funny.

I asked him question after question till he walked over his story (he claimed he got it in person) and then never got back to me |
That's all he wanted? Then he is a small time scam artist.
A real crooked pro would have asked for $5K at least :p;) |

Jason, I'm not saying it is good, just that the pen itself doesn't make the signature bad [anachronism: a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement]. It is possible that Liston used a permanent ink marker at some point; it would be impossible for John L. Sullivan to have done so.

I've only seen one authentic inscribed Sonny Liston in my life , Was part of a boxing collection I bought in London, that was signed in-person for the collector I bought it from. It was about a four line inscription written in BLOCK LETTERS ,
The collector who was known to Sonny and his handlers requested Sonny inscribe the photo to him. He was told to "Write Down" what he wanted Liston to write , he did and then was told to PRINT IT. Liston then just copied what he had printed and signed the photo. Even the printing was a mess. I remember being told it was a very uncomfortable & embarrassing experience as The Bear hulked and labored over it for what seemed like forever. _______________________ jim@stinsonsports.com Vintage autographs for sale Daily on my web site stinsonsports.com |
Sorry for barking at you. I just think it's funny that someone even posts this for evaluation. It makes me wonder if the now banned boxing guru would have been able to give an opinion on this before going off on JSA or PSA about Liston signatures.

No problem; we both had a good laugh at the audacity of this seller.
