[tourstyle]

The guy has like half a million dollars worth of high end stuff listed for sale on ebay, check out his other items, check his world series rings out!! Yankee Bling, bling. Seller looks Legit to say the least.....

[IBench5Pounds]

What's the point of owning a Mr. O trophy srs. Isn't worth chit without the achievement...

Aren't these things supposed to stay with someone or in somewhere?

inb4 it's all stolen or fake merchandise.

No way someone gave his Sandow away for sell..makes no sense.

Kai and Victor have to buy it, hehehe

Visualization. Some guys will stand in front of the mirror accepting it while they imagine the feeling.

Its entirely possible that a pro model maker could have made one. Defly worth it if they get the asking price. Claiming its Sergio's is a fair bet since he's no longer around to dispute.

Who would have gave it away? Who even thinks about selling or a buying a Sandow in the first place..this is pathetic.

[___]

any good collector would buy..

isnt every sandow different? wouldnt be very hard to track the owner..
the only sandow with the bent barbell i know is Phil´s (or jays???)..

edit:

this one the barbell is bent to the other side

[gilesmiles1]

interdasting

as i understand it, it would have to have provenance behind it to be worth anything i.e. be proven to have been presented to a winner and sold with consent(obviously not stolen). If it doesn't say that on the description(not read it) it's scrap metal. Sergio would seem to be most likely if it is legit but who knows, any of them might have fallen on hard times (maybe not arnold)

the first sandow trophy was given to frank zane in 1978 or the yr after, no one before ever got a sandow

[anonymous]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's Frank's.

[ROMMYromboid]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's Frank's.

I would like to rule out

1)Columbo, he would have his other items listed as Italian boxing trophies
2)Arnold - he would also be selling things like Terminator sunnies.
3)Bannout - he would have lebanese items for sale
4)Yates - his other items would be old gym equipment as he upgrades temple gyms
5)Sergio - He would have south american stuff for sale.

IMO its most likely to be Jay selling off his 2007 win which should have gone to Victor
OR Heath selling his 2012 win which should have gone Kai's way.

"98,5% Positive feedback" over hundreds of feedbacks

seller seem legit.


maybe they produced several sandow and this one is just an "extra" one that was never won by anyone ?

the weird thing is that i dont see any ex-olympia winner broke to the point that they have to sell the trophy. i mean, every former mr olympia seems to be doing ok financialy.

and Sergio Oliva's family would have to be srsly broke to give up on this lol

What about Chris Dickerson? He is also a Mr Olympia.
I have no clue and idea of what he is doing right now

from wikipedia "Today, Dickerson lives in Florida where he continues to train, conduct seminars, and correspond with current athletes."


dunno if enough to make a living tho.

anyway, funny to see this at this price on ebay

[RockyTheKid]

I just hope it's not Ronnie's. I know he invested A LOT of his money into his supplement company, and it'd be sad if everything isn't going his way.

[spamy]

[MillerTime07]

If it was real then it would have proof of who owns it. That would only increase the value and give authenticity.

True, but then that person would probably get banned from the IFBB.

[JanesLastResort]

that's GENIUS.

imagine having someone make an exact replica and then selling it.

the weird thing is that the dude is selling things that are not related to bodybuilding at all

Isn't Jay into extravagant brands like Louis Vitton? It looks like his kitchen in the display photos. there's also a ton of sports championship rings.

[___]

Trophy is in good condition for its age

no pobably not Jays or Phils.. probaly not Ronnies also

Joe Weider reintroduced the trophy to the Mr. Olympia in the mid 1970s when The Austrian Oak, Arnold Schwarzenegger, became the first Mr. Olympia to receive the Sandow statue.

not Sergios and not Larrys

[gilesmiles1]

this is ridiculous

you can't sell, for example, an FA cup winners medal, or a superbowl ring, without provenance. I've now read the link and he is answering NO questions. If you needed the money from selling it, you are only going to get it by confirming it is yours, and that it is not stolen or fake.

its quite possible someone needs the money, and I would think it could get 20k, or more, but only if the buyer knows whose it is

any brah with an account on ebay to ask the seller where he got it ?

to satisfy curiosity !

[GotSwole]

are yall reading the link that got posted?

"Such a Deal
The seller, an old time Hollywood actor and TV executive in Burbank, CA acquired this Sandow many years ago from a well known pro bodybuilder down on his luck back in the 80’s, maybe even an Olympia winner? Sworn to secrecy, this bodybuilder’s identity still remains anonymous 'till this day, which only adds more mystery and intrigue to this legendary work of art. Who could have been so down & out back in the day that he'd part with such a prize? Was it Frank Zane? Was it Franco Columbo? Maybe it was Chris Dickerson, Samir Bannout or Lee Haney? Arnold did not need the money, he had all that Conan cash! Who really knows for sure. "
I know this was for the physique bodyware site, not sure about ebay listing.

and

"SIDE NOTE: During 1979-1980 Joe Weider did have ads in Muscle & Fitness offering Sandow's for sale at $1000.00 ea. The same Sandow Trophy he gave to the Mr. Olympia winners! Our Sandow Trophy is NOT for sale at this time! It may be for sale later so check back. "

someone put one in storage and made a deal with a popular ebay seller to make 19k profit?

[tourstyle]

The one sold in the magazine years ago looks different. Someone posted one of those awhile ago.

[Bokula]

I would say either Dickerson or Bannout

[RockyTheKid]

Ok, so it might've been a well-known pro bodybuilder who was down on his luck back in the 80's.

I say Bannout. I know he's had some problems in the past, so...
