Measures 8.5" x 12". Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics tries to save the ball before it goes out of bounds. "Boston Celtics vs Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Garden. L to R Bob Cousy Tom Hawkins and Ray Felix. Boston Record-American Photo." handwritten on reverse Sporting News Hologram. (H0828)
With over a million images found in the complete archives of "The Sporting News Collection Archives", there were only a few hundred First Generation Jumbo Oversized images that were included in the find. Each image is unique, as there were no duplicate images of any subject. Unique in nature, each photograph is one of a kind! Matchless in quality, the color, contrast, tone and depths of the black and white media are magnified in the oversized format. Great images became phenomenal in appearance with this Jumbo sized format.
Unlike standard wire photos, these images were hand developed by the photographer and sent to The Sporting News magazine. Therefore, the result is an actual first generation photographer's print - again, not to be confused with the more commonly found wire photo image. This is the first major collection of exclusive first generation Jumbo Photos to enter the market.
