Here are some items that our auction house, Nate D. Sanders (http://www.NateDSanders.com), has sold:
Signed and used Muhammad Ali boxing gloves signed (then Cassius Clay) to train for his second professional fight against Herb Siler in 1960. As an 18 year old, Clay signs and dates the left glove, ”From / Cassius Marcellus Clay / Dec. 19-60”, one week before he bested Siler in a TKO to advance his burgeoning boxing career. The long ink signature measures nearly 5” long and 1.5” tall and is unusual in that it includes his middle name, Marcellus. On the right glove is written in white, ”CASSIUS CLAY USED IN TRAINING HERB SILER 1960” and inside the cuff of both gloves is written ”C.C.” for identification purposes at the gym. These training gloves come with an LOA from noted Muhammad Ali collector Pete Morkovin who states that they were once part of the Columbia Street Gym Collection in Louisville, Kentucky. The gym was run by Joe Martin, the policeman who discovered Cassius Clay and introduced him to boxing after Clay had his bicycle stolen as a youth. Red leather boxing gloves by Spartan Sporting Goods Manufacturing Company include the original white laces. The gloves show heavy use, but remain in very good condition with no tears. Clay’s signature is strong, but lacks some contrast against the red leather. Among the earliest gloves attributed to Cassius Clay and scarce as signed. Sold for $15,000.
Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier Dual-Signed Contract for the “Fight of the Century” — Perhaps the Best Piece of Boxing Memorabilia in Existence
Ten page contract signed by both “Joe Frazier” and “Muhammad Ali AKA Cassius Clay” for the bout between undefeated Ali and undefeated Frazier in the “Fight of the Century.” Contract dated 9 July 1970 schedules the fight for September 1970 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, as Ali was still prevented from fighting in either Las Vegas or New York. It would be about a month later that the New York Supreme Court ruled in Ali’s favor, paving the way for the Ali-Frazier fight in February 1971 at Madison Square Garden — so hyped that even Frank Sinatra couldn’t get tickets. Contract grants the net proceeds to Ali and Frazier in a laddered fashion, depending upon the overall proceeds of the fight. Signed on the ninth page by Frazier in black marker, Ali in blue pen and representatives from the promoter Marlett Inc., Sports Action Inc. and Frazier’s corporation, Cloverlay Inc. Ali and Frazier’s signatures very large and bold. Overall in very good to near fine condition. Sold for $13,002.
Muhammad Ali signed boxing bag glove, signed as Cassius Clay in the early 1960s after he won Gold at the 1960 Summer Olympics. He boldly signs the right-handed leather glove, ”From / Cassius Clay / World Olympic Boxing Champion / 1960”, well contrasted against the light tan leather. Glove is also signed by Ali’s brother, the boxer Rudy Clay. Goldsmith brand glove measures 9.25” x 5”. Some staining to leather and wear, consistent with use, overall very good condition. Lot also includes three photos of Ali, one from the 1960 Olympics and two of him boxing, wearing a similar glove. With a COA from boxing specialist Craig R. Hamilton. Sold for $12,500.
LeRoy Neiman Original Large Painting From 1997 — Measures 71.5” x 47.25”
LeRoy Neiman original artwork, oil on board measuring 71.5” x 47.25”. Large artwork features a peacock design in Neiman’s distinct style, with a woman in the background, possibly inspired by Gail Devers from the 1996 Olympics. Artwork was one of several Neiman did for NBC in 1997. Framed with wood backing to a size of 73.75” x 50.25”. Signed and dated by Neiman at lower right. Minute soiling at edges, else near fine. Sold for $12,100.
LeRoy Neiman signed horse sketch within his signed book ”Horses,” published by Henry M. Abrams: New York: 1979. The famed expressionist painter of high-profile sporting events, including the Kentucky Derby, sketches a horse in profile to the title page and signs it ”from LeRoy for Sue”. Upon the fly-leaf he signs his full name ”LeRoy Neiman” in pencil, along with an ink inscription, ”To Sue Rees with love / Dec. VIII nineteen 70 nine”. Inscription seems to have been penned at a different time from signature itself. Neiman’s ability to covey the look and feel of dynamic action in fast-paced athletic competitions resulted in his acclaim as the first sports artist of the world. The Smithsonian, the Whitney Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and many others across the world count his art among their permanent collections. Hardcover volume runs 350pp. Measures 14.5” x 14.25”. With original dustjacket and pictorial endpapers. A blank bookplate is affixed to front free endpaper, along with a newspaper clipping on Neiman, else near fine. Minor creasing and edge wear to dustjacket, else near fine. Sold for $1,220.
