Lot 1747: 1960s Harlem Magicians Broadside
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Imagine the NBA being the sideshow and the Harlem Globetrotter-spinoff Magicians as the main attraction. That was often basketball in the early '60s, as depicted in 18-by-30 broadside touting circus-like ball-handling skills of Marques Haynes. The NBA game between the Hawks and Pistons rates status of "added attraction." Photos and fabulous details of clown and ringmaster are well-preserved within browning borders.
