Vintage Sports Cards – Baseball – Basketball – Football – Hockey
This would be an awesome collectible for Boston Celtics fans, a B.F. Goodrich Bob Cousy “P.F.” Basketball Shoe Advertisement.
The “P.F.” All-American was B.F. Goodrich Company’s shoe made to compete with Converse’s “Chuck Taylor.” I’m sure having Cousy endorse the product helped; he was one of the most popular players in the 1950s.
The item was available in MastroWest Auction’s March 2000 catalog and was described as a 22″ x 20″ cardboard piece in Ex-Mt to Nr-Mt condition.
How’s this for a hobby niche—Topps Signed Checks! Here’s an official Topps Chewing Gum Inc.” copy dated May 19, 1961, made out to Henry L. Aaron!
The back has Aaron’s signature and a printed agreement between Topps and Aaron for the rights to use his image on the upcoming years’ baseball cards.
This incredible piece of hobby memorabilia, a Josh Gibson signed Puerto Rican Winter League contract, was offered up for sale in the Mastro West Auction March 2000 catalog.
Gibson is considered one of the greatest catchers and hitters in baseball history. Gibson signed this contract with the Santurce ballclub in New York City on August 29, 1945. The contract states, “For the aforementioned services, the team will pay the player the sum of twenty-five dollars per week.”
