[Archive]

Posted By: Alan Elefson

Hi-
Scanned below are three vintage basketball wire photos for sale. The first one is from 3/14/53 and shows Holy Cross College versus Wake Forest College and it is from the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. It has a headline that reads "Markey Takes it Away" (headline has fallen off back but still intact) and is most likely trimmed down (the image is not affected). It measures approximately 6 inches by 6.5 inches. The photo does have some light wrinkles (please let me know if you need additional scans). This photo is 6.00 delivered.
The second photo is of a basketball game between the Celtics and Hawks on December 26th (not sure the year, most likely mid 50s) that shows a great in action shot. It is an AP Wire Photo and has similar wrinkles to the previous photo plus a crease in the corner. This photo is 12 dollars delivered.
The third photo is of Holy Cross Football Coach Bill Osmanski. He was a standout player for the school, and he coached for two seasons (1948-49). He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame for his playing career. The photo does not have any newspaper name on it, but it bears pencil writing similar to the others. This photo is 8.00 delivered.
I would be willing to sell all three for 21.00 delivered. Please post here if you would like one or all of these, or if you need better scans or more information.
Thanks for looking,
