    I just bought 2 boxing gloves off ebay one signed by cotto and one signed by pacquiao, it has a certificiate of authentificity and pics of them signing them.

    I paid 250, will these be worth anything when im old?

    I'm no expert, but it sounds like a pretty good buy to me.

    Yeah, I ebayed manny pacquaio afterwards and a pair signed by him was 700... so a pair signed by cotto(my fav boxer) and manny(most popular boxer) must amount to something.

    Build a frame with blown up pix from the fight and the cert of authenticity and you have yourself a serious investment.

    Well, I see that for both signed gloves, they're trying to get $400-500. Seeing as you got them for $250, heck yeah it's a steal. A glass case with a wood frame for the cert, big blown up fight pic, hell, I'd probably buy that for a solid $1k.

    yeah, I saw 250 and then realized how much I have in the bank and thought "****... pac and cotto??.... just go for it"

    Maybe if I have a son I can pass it on to him and he can say 'my dad used to write for a boxing website and he had these signed gloves'

    Win/win regardless. Everlast pro gloves are anywhere from $130-200+ so you basically got the signatures for pennies. Enjoy your loot!:good

    Awful. Sugar Ray Leonard gloves (Which I have) are worth like 100$ dollars on ebay. So you got ripped off. Guess it depends on what gloves they were.
