Wilson Official TV B1234 basketball signed by 8 surviving members of the 1936 United States Olympic Gold Medal winning Basketball Team at a reunion probably in the late 1980's - early 1990's. The US took the Gold in the very first Olympics to feature basketball as an official medal event downing Canada in the finals 19-8 in a game played outdoors in inclement weather. Players who have signed are: Sam Balter Ralph Bishop Joe Fortenberry Francis Johnson Frank Lubin(only about 6/10) Art Mollner Jack Ragland and Carl Shy. Another hand has printed the names of all the players on the ball who had passed away before the reunion. Super clean brand new looking ball with very strong 9-10/10 looking black felt tip pen signatures. Large "1936 U. S. OLYMPIC TEAM" in black felt tip pen has been neatly written over 3 panels. Interesting ball covering the very beginnings of Olympic Basketball!
Includes a Letter of Provenance from the Helms Athletic Foundation/LA84 Collection.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
