RARE - CASSIUS CLAY signed Muhammad Ali-Howard Cossell Ltd Ed 16x20 Photo. Steiner/Online Authentics

Howard Cosell was the top sports-journalist/sports-caster/sports-announcer of his generation and Muhammad Ali was the greatest boxer of his generation. Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali had an unusually contentious and playful relationship.

In this fascinating photo, taken in the 1970s, from ABC's Wide World Of Sports, we see Muhammad Ali grabbing a hair on Howard Cosell's toupee to gently lift it, to embarrass Cosell. Of course this was all in good fun, but they sure had an interesting relationship.

A&R Collectibles is pleased to offer an extremely RARE piece of autographed memorabilia. This is a 16x20 black & white photo of Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell that has been autographed by Muhammad Ali. What makes this extremely RARE is that at the time Ali agreed to autograph only 10 of these photos with the name "Cassius Clay." Yes, a numbered limited edition of ONLY 10 pieces were signed "Cassius Clay." This is number 5 of the numbered limited edition.

To add to the value of this rare autographed photo is the authenticity that is provided. This has been DUAL authenticated by Steiner Sports and Online Authentics. A Steiner Sports hologram of authenticity is on the photo along with a Steiner certificate of authenticity.
