I wonder who the seller is. Probably a replica.

[tommywishbone]

Replica. Not awarded to an actual winner. Back of trophy pictured below and on the Ebay site.

It isn't like a stamp, will decrease in value by 95% after you purchase it.  Hell No!

I know Cutler lost his shirt in the Vegas real estate and soon to be divorce, but my god, say it isn't so.

You know dick about Jay.  And a Sandow is upwards of $13,500 for a single casting. So $9,500 is a steal if it is a "real" Sandow

[JasonH]

Interesting - seller is some dude with nearly 20,000 sales. Obviously not a former winner of the O unless they're selling it on his behalf. Probably just a replica in which case it's pretty worthless..

This looks like a replica, not one that was given out.  At the Weider offices in Woodland Hills, a few of these were in some of the offices.  With the inscription saying Muscle Builders Magazine (1953 to 1980), this looks an extra copy of one of the older Sandows given out that was kept.

[BB]

Muscle Builder was an early Weider magazine from the 50's - 80 or so, I'm guess this was a magazine photo prop or similar, although they might of sold replicas. The seller is a long time collector of this sort of thing.

You must be one of the guys in Dave's videos.  Your love for Jay is undaunting.  If he was purchasing real estate at or near price before the economic downturn, then he got waxed.  You can like it or no.

And that thing isn't a Super Bowl ring, so $9500 isn't a bargain for an used one.  $950 sounds more reasonable.

Usually a BB contest winner gets a plastic "trophy" bought for 6 dollars 95 at the local trophy shop. Or maybe a medal costing 2 dollars 99 to purchase at most.
You really think this almost moneyless sport hands out small statues that cost 10,000 dollars or more? Seems extremely unlikely to me..

[jwb]

Pretty sure they used to sell these through muscle and fitness around 1981. No idea how much they were.

[Tito24]

i wouldnt even want it when they paid me money

[Figo]

Muscle builder/power was the precursor to M&F

This is probably a replica that they used to sell in back of mags, nice to have for 50-100 bucks. Some fucker is taking a chance and trying to rob people



It would be interesting to see what would happen if someone rocked up with a real sandow statuette at the Pawn Stars shop(gold & silver store).
"I'll give you 5 bucks..."

no love for Jay here but no hate for him either. And no videos of me, would rather stay behind the scenes. Unlike you a fool that spits shit to feel relivent in the industry or on the boards.

LOL @ Some jackass gymrat permabulker moonface 365-dbol user who will buy this, put on mantle, and use it to impress local fitness aspiring 'stars'.

So Muscle builder magazine lasted until 1980, interesting cause it wasn`t until 1980 when they handed out the first Sandow at the Olympia

what a "classy" trophy. the weiders were such "distinguished" homosexuals gentlemen

What industry is that? Gay for Pay or Illegal Distribution of Narcotics, Analgesics and Anabolic Steroids?

I wouldn't pay 10 bucks for that trophy, since <1 in 100,000 people probably even know what the hell it is.
