Chiswick Auctions are currently listing a Middle Heavyweight Title Belt for sale at their Auction being held on the 4th August 2024. It is stated that this belt was won by Mike Marino and comes together with some photographs and two posters featuring Mike.
The Auction has estimated the belt at £200-£400 and there is already a bid of £320.00 on it. (this is at the time of writing and will probably increase further).
For anyone who likes to collect wrestling memorabilia and has a few pound to spare this would be a nice addition to any collection and something that rarely comes up for sale.
The link to the item and all details required to bid are below:-
The "problem" with Mount Evans belts are that their actual design is basic its not like some elaborate Victorian or Edwardian silverware...the actual art of this trophy...is not that pretty if you will. Yes of course these belts are priceless for the wrestlers families BUT a historian or a jeweller would put a realistic estimate on it as 500 GBP. Pretty much.
Hello Gentlemen! I am back. Ok, looks like Marino Belt, or a copy, I cannot tell. My bet is 500 pounds a real and I mean a fair price for this item.
We should all chip in and buy this for Ruslan!
Would love it, but is already priced out of my realm.
Current bid is £1,100.
