Description: Significant 1962 Phila. Warriors team auto. basketball signed during the Wilt Chamberlain 100 point game. Seamless model #522 basketball signed by (13) members of the Warriors team incl. Paul Arizin, Al Attles, Tom Gola, and Wilt Chamberlain. The ball was signed by the team on the bus before a game played against on the Knicks on March 2, 1962. Chamberlain was not on the bus as he had taken a bus to Hershey,PA from New York along with the Knicks. The consignor of the ball, along with friends, was in attendance at the game and at halftime won the lucky program contest. The choice of prizes were a large kielbasa or a Warriors team auto. basketball, fortunately our consignor chose the latter. The boys then watched the second half as basketball history was made when Wilt scored 100 points. After the game the boys were escorted by Warriors owner Eddie Gottlieb into the locker room where Wilt signed the ball, "Wilt Chamberlain 3/1/62 100" (Date was actually 3/2/62). The signatures on the ball all remain very clean ranging from 8-10 out of 10. Rare team auto. ball with historic significance relating to a record which has not been remotely approached in over 40 years. Includes letter of provenance from original owner, various supporting documents, and LOA from PSA/DNA J.Spence-S.Grad (autographs): EX
