March 1, 1957 Boston Garden Sport News Program, signed in pencil by six members of the first Boston Celtics Championship team, as well as 29 others. Signatures are on the front and back covers (which are loose) and all throughout the program. The six Celtics signatures on the "Who's Who" pages are including Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Jack Nichols, Jim Loscutoff, Dick Hemric and Bill Sharman. Other signatures include basketball pioneer HOFer Paul Arizin and the ultra rare HOFer Maurice Stokes, one of basketball's best forwards for the Cincinnati Royals in the 1950s who was paralyzed on the court in 1958 and died in 1970. The program shows some creasing and wear, the signatures grade an overall 7 with some 8s. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
