Something that we have never seen before, we have shown these to various vintage specialists and no one has seen these. Offered is a fine run of 2 x 3 printed of Bill Russell. We believe this is from the 1957-8 season based on the content of the set. The card has a small crease and displays well, the back is blank. A potential 1/1 Rookie Card, we attempted to have the Bill Russell slabbed and the grading companies did not want to do so but this certainly could change in the future, with some enormous potential upside. The card certainly appears to be vintage, but we do not know the issuer and could not find a period basketball game that was produced with such cards. This is a truly fascinating lot to our eyes.
REVISED: THIS WAS ISSUED AS PART OF A NEGAMCO BASKETBALL BOARD GAME, LATE 1950s.
