We all know how dominate Wilt was in college and then in the NBA and here we have proof of his dominance in High School. First there are two, 5" x 7" in excellent condition B & W photos of the "Stilt" scoring from under the basket. There are 8 original B & W, 8" x 10" action photos of Wilt scoring and being harassed by his opponents. They are in good to good+ condition. There is a newspaper article talking about Wilt becoming the new High School scoring champion in three years, beating the old record of Tom Gola, who needed four years to amass his points. There is a Catholic-Public Sideline Pass dated Mar. 10, 1955. There is a flyer advertising a B'nai B'rith Father and Son Nite featuring Wilt as a guest. Both are in good condition. There is an original cartoon showing Wilt's old Overbrook High School coach dreaming of having Wilt back, as he starts coaching at a new school. There is a collage of Chamberlain highlights commemorating his career at the time of his death. There is a program in very good condition, from a Philadelphia Inquirer, Gold Basketball Award Dinner, Monday, March 15, 1954 naming Chamberlain as the center of the year on the all-public school team. Finally there is a program from the championship game between Overbrook and West Catholic. The book is in good condition with one loose page and some partial cover to spine separation.
