Guys… This is a very interesting one. Some people still don’t remember that Wilt Chamberlain played with/for the Harlem Globetrotters in 1959. This exquisitely rare ticket is when the Globetrotters played in Sydney, Australia with Wilt on that team. Through my research, I’ve been unable to find a box score for this game, but I’ve been on the hunt for a nice, well-preserved 1959 Globetrotters ticket for quite some time. The fact that this is made its way to me almost 70 years later in great condition all the way from Australia it’s super cool. If anyone can find a box score from this game, I would be grateful!

Wilt has very few pack-pulled autographs out there in the wild. Many are locked into PCs and when they do hit the open market, they can be pricey. Many of them have faded/fading autographs, so there is a premium to the super bold copies out there. I was selective, and definitely paid a premium, for this one. Which will remain in my long-term PC.

I got this Wilt autographed in person at the National years ago. I wish I got a different card (a vintage card maybe a 1969 tall boy). Oh well. I was young and less experienced then. Still cool to meet the legend himself. He was super nice in person!
