I would have thought Bill Russell was more recognizable than this. Oh well.

Maybe not in 1955...
Here's a fun tidbit, all of the PSA graded "Russell" cards aren't.

Weird. The wrong guy is labeled Russell on my sheet too. I wonder if they based it off an old pic of my sheet somewhere? Whoever owned my sheet back in the day wrote everyone's name in pencil next to each photo.
The stupid security token crap won't let me upload a photo and photobucket can eat my bum. Any suggestions? Arthur

I was born in 1950 and lived in St Louis until 1985. As a kid I used to attend St Louis Hawk games with an uncle who was a season ticket holder. The Hawks moved to Atlanta in the mid 60s, but had some pretty good teams in the late 50s.
In the 56 draft the Hawks had the second pick and had Russell but traded him to Boston for Ed McCauley, who was a St Louis guy, and Cliff Hagen out of Kentucky who had been drafted by the Celts but had not yet played for them. At the time management felt white players were a better draw in St Louis. The trade gave the Hawks Clyde Lovellete, Bob Pettit and Hagan up from and they had some success, actually beating the Celts in 57/58 for the championship ( with Russell hobbled by an ankle injury). But Celtic history with Russell is of course legendary My only basketball set is the 61 Fleer set Arthur-- if you can email me the pic I can try to post it. I still have a photo-bucket account Last edited by ALR-bishop; 11-08-2017 at 01:38 PM. |

I understand now. After looking at this more, #61 is Russell. The checklist in not accurate, as you guys have mentioned. #62 is Arnelle for sure. I think the issue was confused slightly by PSA capsulating one of these inaccurately that was going to be auctions on Heritage last year.
I own these sheets and never noticed that reversal prior. Interesting. |

Thanks, Al. Yeah, that's where it shifted into the boxers. When I did my scans I cropped them all by sport -- baseball, football, basketball, boxing.
