So Rick thought the bell might be worth a few hundred, with no added value even if the signature was good. wrong.

Of course Liston died fairly young, in Las Vegas no less, and he didn't like to sign and avoided signing much of the time. So to say a blanket statement that boxers signed a lot right up to the day they died was not doing his homework on Liston.

A real signature on that bell would have added value to it. Drew Max rightfully knocked down that signature, calling it fake.
I can imagine Liston a guest at a baseball card show,,,
Flats- $75
Gloves - $150
Bells - $800
and $8 to have a TPA rep. , who is not watching, to put a sticker on it .
sorry, no personalizations.
