Bob Gibson - Globetrotters picture?

[laughlinfan]

I have done internet searches without much luck. Anybody have or ever seen a picture of Bob Gibson with the Globetrotters? I've been looking for a picture, or a program, or anything with him in a Globetrotters uniform, to put with the Topps artwork I picked up a year or two ago. I see pictures of him with Creighton, and an image of his Globetrotters ID card, but not much else. I am guessing maybe he played with one of the secondary teams, or maybe his stint was too short?

He played with the big boys. His roommate was Meadowlark Lemon. It is pretty amazing that there are no images of Gibson in uniform though.

I thought I might be able to find one in the picture section of his autobiography but there wasn't any unfortunately.....

If you do run across one, please share it!

Good Luck

You might try the Association of Professional Basketball research group. They have historians & researchers on there that collect images of basketball players in any professional or semi-pro teams, leagues, etc,...

Marty,

I know I’ve never seen a pic of Gibson with the Globetrotters, but I think the original artwork would look great, in my view, with the Topps card with the cartoon framed with it.
