Up for sale is a beautiful vintage hand-signed 8x10 composite portrait of the legendary basketball icon and Naismith Memorial Hall of Famer, Dave Cowens. As one of the most dynamic and fiercely competitive centers to ever play the game, Cowens anchored the post during the Boston Celtics' 1970s championship dynasty, earning league MVP honors and a permanent spot among basketball royalty.
What is Included:
Hand-Signed 8x10 Glossy Photograph: An original vintage multi-image promotional print featuring a crisp portrait headshot of Cowens alongside an action shot of him driving down the court in his iconic #18 Celtics home uniform. The classic Boston Celtics leprechaun logo is printed prominently in the bottom corner.
Condition: The vintage 8x10 black-and-white promotional photograph is in pristine structural condition, displaying sharp corners, clean white margins, bright contrast levels, and a completely intact surface gloss. There is no evidence of bending, creasing, or surface wear. The hand-written autograph and jersey number "18" inscription are exceptionally bold, crisp, and dark, remaining entirely free of any smudging, trailing, or ink fading.
