Carmen Basilio and Tony Zale title belts stolen from the Boxing Hall of Fame

Figured I would do my civic duty and post this up here for all to see. I'm sure some of you reprobates dabble in the black market, so keep an eye out. :nono:

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

 

Check in Little Italy...

 

Lucas Matthysse and Martin Murray are the culprits.

 

I know who it was..................

 

Bono?

 

Blecks?

 

I expected you to announce they were on sale on your boxing memorabilia web site, Nobleart.

 

THIS....

w/Out Knowing WHO Started the Thread, REED INSTANTLY Suspected Brother Nobes, Upon REEDing the Title of the Thread...

Nobie clearly started this thread to get in front of the investigation and the inevitable questions. "If I was behind this why would I bring attention to it?"

 

Indeed...

Nobes Needs to Do is "Civic Duty" & Give those Belts BACK...Or, @ the VERY Least, Say he "Found" them Somewhere...

I wonder how much this could fetch on the (black) market ? Nobleart, as our resident expert on such affair, do you have any idea ?

 

On the open market or at auction, probably somewhere between 20-30 Grand for the Ring Magazine Belts. On the Black Market? I have no idea. I can't imagine anybody would buy these knowing they could never re-sell them on the open market, but there's plenty of rich fucks out there who don't give two shits about that I guess, so who knows.

 

I wish I could say this kind of stuff was in my wheelhouse, but I'm too risk averse to want anything to do with high end belts and equipment and what not. A lot of it ends up being either stolen, or sold by a relative who was given the stuff for safekeeping by the boxer or the boxers family, and somebody ends up wanting it back in the end.

Even when I get calls directly from boxers, I usually always refer them to an auction house or another dealer.

 

Jake La Motta did it. Woke the kids too.
