Spectacular shadow box creation commemorating the linkage of two NBA giants: Hall of Famers Bill Russell and Red Auerbach. Auerbach and Russell both signed a 5-by-4-inch green piece of the famed parquet floor at old Boston Garden in black Sharpie, with Russell adding his "#6" inscription. An official Boston Garden hologram is attached to the floor piece; on the back of the frame there are certificates of authenticity affixed from Hollywood Collectibles and from the NBA and the Celtics. The floor piece is in a shadow box cutout that also features a 13-by-11-inch black-and-white photo of the pair hugging; at the center of the piece is a colorful 2-inch in diameter Celtics medallion, and at the bottom an 8-inch-by-2-inch plaque provides the two names and details - Boston Celtics Legends, Bill Russell & Red Auerbach, 12 Time NBA Champion, 16 Time NBA Champion, HOF 1974, HOF 1969. Entire layout is elegantly matted with Celtics green and white, along with a NM-MT brown frame that brings overall dimensions to 19-by-27 inches. With the shadow box configuration, the piece would extend approximately 2.5 inches from the wall.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
