Celtics Picture Packs

[jad22]

The Celtics picture packs started being issued during the 1955-56 season. There were photos distributed during the 1954-55 season, but they were not issued like the picture pack sets were. So, it is possible to find a random Bob Cousy, Bill Sharman, Fred Scolari, and Frank Ramsey (did not play during the 1955-56 season so he does not appear in the 1955-56 set). These have smaller dimensions than the picture pack photos. The 1955-56 set consisted of 10 photos:

Ernie Barrett
Bob Cousy
Dick Hemric
Jim Loscutoff
Ed Macauley
Red Morrison
Jack Nichols
Togo Palazzi
Arnie Risen
Bill Sharman

The 1956-57 had at least 11 players (not sure about Togo Palazzi appearing). The 1956-57 consisted of:

Bob Cousy
Tommy Heinsohn
Dick Hemric
Jim Loscutoff
Jack Nichols
Andy Phillip
Frank Ramsey
Arnie Risen
Bill Russell
Bill Sharman
Lou Tsioropoulos

The 1957-58 had 11 players and is unique due to having a bluish tint on the photographs. None of the other picture pack years look like the 1957-58, so they are easy to date.

The 1957-58 set consisted of:

Bob Cousy
Tommy Heinsohn
Sam Jones
Jim Loscutoff
Jack Nichols
Andy Phillip
Frank Ramsey
Arnie Risen
Bill Russell
Bill Sharman
Lou Tsioropoulos
