All Sports Auction #19
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/14/2017
What we have here is no longer a mystery thanks to one of my bidders. It is a 4" x 6" basketball card that says Nationally Famous Bradley Allstars, 1950-51 Sugar Bowl Champs and was made by Carrigan & Young. It pictures players including Elmer Behnke, Billy Mann, Aaron Preece, and others but what is interesting here is that they played in the NIT Playoffs the previous year and some of its players took bribes from gamblers! This was during the the NCAA and NIT Scandal that cost CCNY its championships as their players were bribed, too. On the back is an ad to buy sporting equipment at Melchiorre and Mann Sporting Goods at the Holiday Store in Peoria, Illinois. NEAT!
