Vintage Basketball Photos and Postcards

[Michael B]

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.
