The nicest early basketball item I saw at The National was a team photo of either the Jersey Reds or Newark CO2. It was signed on the back by the team including Chuck Connors, Don Otten and HOFer Dutch Dehnert. It was completely out of my collecting focus so I passed on it at about $200.00. This dealer had some other interesting items, but not worth the price. That dealer that does almost all basketball (states he is former law enforcement) had two of those basketball shaped Holy Cross team issue items with Cousy on them. Unfortunately signed very large in the center by Cousy. One of those items I would have left alone.
