Muhammad Ali embracing Pelé – Dual signed presentation

Item Number:  1456

An extremely rare opportunity to obtain an item signed by two of the most successful and iconic sportsmen of the 20th Century – Muhammad Ali and Pele. This stunning black and white photo shows an emotional embrace between the two legends and is personally signed by both.

It is presented framed in a stunning silver surround with dual mounts and an inset plaque that details their career and achievements. It measures in at a large and impressive 74cm by 54cm (approx). A truly rare and highly collectable item of memorabilia that represents a great investment for the future.

Also supplied is a leather bound binder containing a certificate of registration with a unique item number, and various other material relating to the subjects.

It is supplied by Ali’s management company and is registered at www.onlineauthentics.com - An independent site which allows buyers to view the item purchased by simply entering the registration number. You can therefore be assured that this item is absolutely 100% authentic.

Important: A buyer should be certain as to the authenticity as there are many Ali items that are not genuine. Ensure that the item is either registered at Online Authentics, OR is supplied with provenance. This can be certification from a reputable company or, if obtained from a private collector, details of where and when signed. If in any doubt, you can use the Spirit of Sport valuation and authentication service.

Update February 2007 - The 2006 sale of Ali’s image rights means he will not be signing items for public release. As a result, there are very few items available which ia creating increased market demand and higher prices.

It is clear however that ‘genuine’ Muhammad Ali memorabilia is one of the better investment opportunities.
