Don Barksdake was the first African American basketball player to be named an NCAA All-American. He was the first AA to play on the U.S. Olympic basketball team and the first to play in an NBA all-star game. He played for the Boston Celtics in 1953-1955.

I am always looking for 1940-1950’s Boston Celtics autographs. Lmk if you have any for sale/trade. Thanks!

Welp. You win some and you lose some. Traded this away too early. I have 6-7 Kobe autos so it’s not the end of the world and I had to trade it to move into a much bigger card. But as a collector, I really hate trading and selling cards. I want to keep them all.

The Harlem Globetrotters don’t get enough love. Meadowlark, along with some of the other players, including Wilt Chamberlain played for them. Their skill, personality, and showmanship was undeniable. I was able to get this autographed red white and blue Globetrotters/ABA basketball for a relatively inexpensive price. He’s still underrated in the hobby. But those that know ball… Know how big of a name he is and the impact he had on the game!

Irving Levin, a film producer, once owned the Boston Celtics. He wanted a team on the west coast, however. Of course the NBA would not let him move the Celtics to California so he traded the team for the Clippers. He eventually sold the Clippers to Donald Sterling.

Jerome Anderson was a guard from West Virginia who played 2 seasons for the Boston Celtics in the mid 70’s. He died in Sweden at the age of 55. He has a tough autograph to acquire. Looking for old Celtics autographs from the 40’s & 50’s for sale or trade!
