Bob Cousy Seamless Rubber Premium Photo Questions

[aelefson]

Hi-

I recently acquired a Bob Cousy Seamless Rubber premium photo and I have a few questions about it. When were these made? Are there more than one version? I ask because I only found one other online in a Hunt auction from many years ago.

It does not have scalloped edges however like my example does. Were these inserted with every basketball? Any other information on this item is greatly appreciated.

I thought I remember reading that the photos were inserted in the boxes with balls. I believe the balls were from the late 50's to the mid-60's. I think this was the only version of the photo that I can recall seeing. It looks like the photo is from the 1960's. So maybe they started putting the photograph in the box in the 1960's.

Very cool piece! Wonder if it is gradable? Would look good slabbed.
