Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Larry Holmes Autographed Color Photograph with JSA Certification A color photograph of professional heavyweight boxer Larry Holmes, depicted in red trunks and Everlast gloves with a championship belt. The photograph features a signature in black marker across the center. The item is accompanied by a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Basic Certification card and a matching certification sticker located on the lower-right corner of the photograph. Both the card and sticker are marked with certification number CK13250. Provenance / Authentication Note: This item originates from a single-owner collection assembled by a dedicated sports fan with a strong focus on Notre Dame and New York Yankees memorabilia. The collector actively pursued autographs over many years through in-person events, including games, autograph shows, and visits to National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum during player events, as well as through direct mail requests to athletes and celebrities. The collection included supporting material such as handwritten correspondence sent to athletes (in some cases with payment enclosed), along with photographs of the collector with various signers. A portion of this same collection was featured in our March 21st auction, where multiple items were authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA). In regards to any items with signature(s): While this specific item has not been individually submitted for third-party authentication, it originates from the same collection and shows consistency with previously authenticated pieces. As with many large autograph collections, there may be a small number of facsimile or clubhouse-style signatures present. Based on the overall provenance and our review, we maintain a strong level of confidence in the authenticity of most items. Bidders are encouraged to review all photos carefully and bid according to their own level of comfort. No additional authentication documentation is included unless visible within the lot photos.
Condition report:
The photograph and certification card appear in good condition with no visible signs of tearing, heavy creasing, or ink degradation.
