In 1961 the United States Postal Service issued a 4 cent stamp in honor of Dr. James Naismith’s 100th birthday. For years, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts would have Hall of Famers and guests at the Hall of Fame sign these First Day Covers to sell in their gift shop as a means to raise money for the museum. Offered is a group of 26 different signed FDC’s. This would be a great starter lot for a Basketball HOF autograph collection or lucrative dealer lot.
