ondition:
These pieces including the glove and polaroid photos are in excellent condition for their age.  Be sure and check the photos as they are an integral part of the description and do a much better job of showing condition issues than what I can explain through the use of the written word.   Use the magnification tool and feel free to ask questions.
Note:
I got Joe Hipple's name off of the video auction where I bought this glove so I am not sure of the spelling.
Note:
This glove was signed by George Forman for Joe, an HBO executive at an HBO event on Dec 1, 1994.  Joe had several polaroid photos taken of him with various boxing celebrities with one actually showing George signing the glove for Joe, and another photo of him with Pernell Whitiker that Pernell autographed for him.  This glove was found in the contents of a storage locker that had formerly been the property of Joe.  George went on to fight Michael Moorer on 5/11/94 for the WBA and IBF World Heavyweight Championship and won with a KO in the 10th round.  He is the oldest fighter at the age of 45 to win a World Championship.
Pernell Whitiker, 1964-2019 was a fighter who won multiple championships during his career winning World Championships in four weight categories.  He was also the gold medal winner at the 1983
Pan American Games, and 1984 Olympics.
One of the other polaroids is signed on the back but I can't read the signiture.   I thought the boxer in the photo looked like Oscar De La Hoya but the signiture does not match.

Disclaimer:
Photographs with a ruler or the metal tape measures are there to show scale only and usually will not show exact
measurements
due to
the fact that the measurements on some wooden rulers start 1/16" into the wood, and
the ruler,
and even with a metal ruler or tape measure the item being different
lengths
away
from the camera lens than the ruler or tape measure,
even if it is only a fraction of an inch will also create a perspective issue.  Please always go by my stated measurements rather
than guessing at the exact sized based on the photos.
Note:
Because of the way computers and cell phones are set to interpret colors that show on their monitors, and because of people's perceptions of color descriptions,  the colors you see on your screen may not be exactly the colors you will get but might appear a bit darker or lighter, or a shade or two different.  I always do
my best to show colors as close to reality as I can get them, but keep that in mind when you make your orders as, although I will accept returns for any reason, I WILL NOT accept a small difference in color shades as a valid rea
son for a 'not as described' claim so that you can save on shipping.  Of course, if I say that something is black and it turns out to be red when you get it, then
obviously the fault is mine and the 'not as described' claim will be accepted
If you need to have a perfect match and can send a fabric swatch or paint chip, or something else that you have that shows the exact color that you need, I
will be happy to hold the item you are thinking of purchasing so that you can send me your swatch or whatever for me to use to check for that match.  I can photograph
the item next to the color sample that you send and you can make your final decision as to whether you want to purchase from that.
Shipping:
I purchase postage online when I package the item.  The tracking number shows when that postage was purchased and does not start when I actually take the item to the post office to be shipped.  Note, I show a 4 business day handling period and although I may get your item packaged and ready to ship on the first or second day, It may take all of those four days for me to get your item to the post office to actually ship it.  Please don't be concerned if you check your tracking number and find out that the item has not yet been shipped if it is within my four-day shipping window.   If you do need your item in a hurry for a birthday or special occasion, just let me know and I will be happy to do my best for you.
