Auction House for Boxing

[toybulldog]

yes, collecting boxing for over 20 years, i can attest to Lelands being a great choice. they specialize in it and very knowledgable.

they don't play the 3rd party authenticator run around game with TPA's not qualified to give an opinion on boxing autographs, they use their own in house authenticators if you have autographs. if you have memorabilia, they have handled it all in the past, trophies, awards, rings, belts, robes, gloves, you name it. They know what they are doing.

Fair disclosure. I have no financial or other stake in their company, and I do not authenticate for them in any way. Some will give you their opinion but won't disclose they have a vested interest in an auction house.

Ditto, while at the International Boxing Hall of Fame each year they do seem to get the most praise and the other collectors I've talked to seem to have the most confidence in Lelands. Too many non-authentic items being passed by these TPA's for auction houses with no ryhme or reason to their authenticity. Here's a discussion on one of the poorest Marciano forged items I've come across yet it has been "authenticated" by a TPA company, PSA/DNA, and the auction house put an estimated value of $25,000 on it.

With Lelands no TPA games, no false value added to non-authentic items. Quite refreshing!
