Value in Boxing Collectibles

Beth DeCarbo writes an interesting article which sheds light on some of the prices in the boxing collectibles market.
Like the hockey collectibles market, one can grab some interesting pieces without laying out the big bucks required for baseball and basketball collectibles.
What DeCarbo doesn’t address is the value in the boxing market.
Several Ali collectibles have sold for less than $10,000 including a one page contract Ali signed in 1964 which sold for $6266. Ali is one of the most beloved sports figures of all time. Some will argue that Ali’s character goes well beyond boxing which devalues his boxing collectibles. Ali’s name in boxing is synonymous with the Mick in baseball and therefore, if you can buy a piece of the great Ali for less than $10,000, it just may be a great investment. One other top draw at boxing auctions is John L. Sullivan memorabilia for the age quotient. What will Ali’s memorabilia be worth when it’s 100 years old? Exactly my point.
