This 1959 Hawks premium is one of the more creative ones I've ever seen, and loaded with HOFers:

Adam, from your comments on prewar baseball, I figured you were a baseball guy. No way, you've got some great hoops memorabilia... thanks

I am a huge Cousy fan. I am going to cash out the Bar Mitzvah bonds for whatever it takes to win this Holy Cross Cousy schedule.

I am into all four of the sports that were ubiquitous Topps issues when I was a kid, plus boxing. I like football the least and collect that strictly from a nostalgic standpoint. The early non-card basketball is just really interesting to me given the modest history of the NBA and the lack of cards.

Not only a lot of HOFers. Father of a future player, Bob father of Danny Ferry. Also four players who would later play with the Celtics - Lovellette, Macauley, Green and McCarthy. Lovellette, Green and McCarthy would play on championship teams with them. I believe Lovellette was the first player to win an NCAA championship, Olympic gold medal and NBA Championship. He was the first one to win NCAA championship and Olympic gold medal in the same year - 1952.

The under appreciated, difficult to find, 1950's Celtics postcards. Would have preferred ballpoint signatures but I can live with this.

If you ever can't live with them, LMK
Here's a Minneapolis TI of Jim (The Kangaroo Kid) Pollard: Found in a pile of miscellaneous stuff in a collection I bought. His career was 48-55, so some time in there.

Mahmoud Namdjou (correct spelling)(gewichtheben - weightlifting) from Iran was a great weightlifter. In the Olympics he won a silver in 1952 and bronze in 1956. World Champ in bantamweight 1949, 1950, 1951. He also set three world records.
I will see your Kosmo card and raise you. lovellette-kurland-1.jpg Clyde Lovellette and Bob Kurland in Helsinki for the 1952 Olympics. The athlete between them is Luis Omedes of Spain. Youngest competitor at those games at 12½. He was the cox for the rowing 4's w/cox. He would compete in Luge at the 1968 Olympics. His father rowed in the 1924 Games and his brother rowed single scull in 1948 and 1952.

Those are great pictures. I also think of Alex Groza when I see Beard. Sucky ending, to what should have been excellent careers.

Here are some more. Pretty much in alphabetical order as that is how they are in my folder. Everyone I show will be an Olympian. Since you had to be an amateur prior to 1992 I look for high school, college, amateur (NIL) or Olympic photos. With the exception of one early Cincy Royals team issue of Jay Arnette I have followed that rule. For 1992 and later I will only accept original photos, slides or negatives during the Olympics or possibly college. Absolutely no NBA photos. In case anyone wonders; all original, no reprints.
collins-1.jpg Doug Collins - 1971. 1972 silver medal. counts-oregon-1.jpg Mel Counts as a senior at Oregon State. 1964 gold medal. counts-64-1.jpg Mel Counts vs Uruguay at 1964 Olympics. Unstamped press photo out of Latvia darling-1.jpg Chuck Darling while with the Phillips 66ers of the National Industrial League. 1956 gold medal. dischinger-1.jpg Terry Dischinger in 1960. 1960 gold medal. ewing-84-1.jpg Patrick Ewing during the 1984 Olympics. To his left is Wayman Tisdale and on the edge it looks like Joe Kleine. This was in a group of pool photographer photos from the 1984 Olympics that I purchased. Freiberger-1.jpg Marcus Freiberger with the Peoria Caterpillars of the NIL in 1952. 1952 gold medal. groza-1.jpg Alex Groza circa 1948. 1948 gold medal. haldorson-1.jpg Burdette "Burdie" Haldorson with the Phillips 66ers in 1958. The third person, after Bob Kurland and Bill Hougland, to win 2 gold medals in basketball at the Olympics - 1956 and 1960.

Thanks Joe. Wasn't too long ago these type of photos weren't drumming up much interest at all. I think I picked up the Jordan photo in a Mears auction 10 years ago or so, for less then the price of a 3rd year Jordan Fleer Sticker. In hindsight, I should have been snatching up every similar type one that became available back then. Way less of them out there, then the cards. |

Yeah, me too. I am pleased I got what I got when I got it but another $500 put into play at the right time...
