Description

One of modern pro-basketball's first scoring sensations

Deceased Basketball Hall of Famer who was considered one of modern pro-basketball's first scoring sensations, Fulks revolutionized shooting and scoring in professional hoops by first using a two-handed shot and then gradually switching to the one-handed method. In 1949, he scored a then-NBA record 63 points against the Indianapolis Jets. Vintage fountain pen signature and inscription, “Best wishes Charles, Joe Fulks,” on an off-white 5.5 x 3.25 government postcard (postmarked 7/7/1947). In fine condition. COA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
