It depends on the credibility of your proof of authenticity. There are lots of articles similar to this around - which have dubious authenticity. CofA's can quite easily be made on a computer and don't carry a lot of weight.
The greater the confidence in its authenticity - the greater the value. If you have details of when and where the signings took place, with photo's of the boxers signing it then it would go a long way.
I'm not suggesting yours is fake, but there are too many out there that are - and this will unfortunately raise doubts, whether valid or not.
multi signed items get lots less than individual signatures on a glove if you were to have lewis and the klits autos on 3 seperate floves u would be looking at 350-500 for the 3 , however this item would achieve arouns £200 as long as you had photo proof or a decent letter of authenticty
Out of interest. A glove with joe fraziers signature on there, with a plaque, etc. How much you think? Its been a long running piss take between me and my dad as I think he well overpaid.

I got the glove signed when I was in vegas for the vitali v Williams fight. I have pictures of myself with many of the signed fighters. even agapito sanchez...RIP :(
photos of myself with the fighters is much much better than a dodgy internet COA.
Danny Williams probably doesn't add anything to the value, especially the way his career's turned out, but Sanchez being dead will definitely help. Would probably go for £200-£300 I'd guess. If only Sanchez hadn't hit Pacquiao in the bollocks, would be worth a few quid more if he'd won.

How did you manage to get close enough to them to sign it? Just lucky circumstances or?

I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here, but maybe he saw each of them in Las Vegas, approached in a friendly manner and said "Hello, please may I have a photo and an autograph if you're not too busy?".
Haaa. The point I was making is it's not always that easy to get access to top level fighters.
If you were to sell it then give Graham Budd a call , his auction house specialize in sports memorabilia.
Just at a rough guess i think between £200-£240.

Bonhams also have specific sport memorabilia auctions.
Looking at that link, a Lonsdale belt went for £19,000, remember someone saying some fella wanted £15,000 for one, did that have the European with it as well though?

Not in Vegas fella when I big fight is on. Celebs everywhere so much so you begin not to notice them in the end. Poncey and I were a couple of doors down from Thomas Hearns - got that man has stamina, never saw him with the same hooker twice and we were sharing a lift with him four or five times a day. We call him Tom now.

You can get a lot of autographs at the annual Boxing News awards, the WBC conventions, if you are ringside at a show or if you work within the industry, etc. I presume it's the latter for Rhino. I've had ample opportunity but I don't collect autographs.
It helps if you are drunk at the big fights to get them. All you need is a loud mouth. I have loads, also let a load pass when I have been sober and just nudged my mates and said "look who's over there". All have been great, especially when they know you know the score. Calzaghe was aloof until I told him I had seen him on an undercard in York years ago. It took him aback, he smiled and signed. Couldn't believe someone who had trouble standing had an encyclopaedic knowledge of his career!

They go up when they die. About £250.
Cheers Mickey. I'll have to quadruple my piss taking efforts that's for sure.
