Default BB Wire Photos

Ethan,

I have three old wire photos, the type that would come off the photo machine in a newsroom with the copy already a part of the photo - not clipped and taped on. The three photos are of Tom Heinsohn surrounded by fans on the court after the Celtics won their first NBA championship. Tom Luscutoff is in the photo next to Heinsohn and the top of Bill Russell's head is visible behind Heinsohn. Both are mentioned in the copy. Second photo is a shot of Heinsohn driving between Bob Pettit and Ed Macauley. From a double overtime Hawks win in Boston Garden. The final shot has no copy but it's a photo of Pettit driving past three Celtics, including Heinsohn and possibly Russell.

The last two are stamped on the back and identified as AP Wirephotos. No. 1 has no ID at all. All are a little curly due to age and the No. 3 has some staining. Certainly not mint, and if you're interested, let me know. I also have three hockey photos and one of Sugar Ray Robinson and his wife from the same era. Thought I'd use all for autographs, but decided not to
