1959 Dated action photograph of rookie Wilt Chamberlain from his eighth game of his career and the first in which he scored over 50 points (he scored 55 points). Dated on the back and with several newspaper articles, this is one of the most important early Chamberlain images we have ever handled. While not extremely clear, we feel this is just from indoor photography being tough at the time and this photo being blown up from a photo taken at a distance. We are unsure how PSA will evaluate the photograph as to the clarity.
