One of the greatest and most iconic moments in sports took place in the sleepy Chocolate town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. Wilt Chamberlain, playing for Philadelphia, scored 100 points in a single game against New York. While the event has gone down in history, there is only one known action photograph from the game, and you are looking at it. Wilt has just scored his 100th point and fans stormed the court, but there was still some time left. It took eight minutes to clear the floor but Wilt refused to check back in, thinking it was cool to score exactly 100 points. Issued by the Associated Press and stamped on the back, this is a completely original example that is the only one we have ever seen! Condition and quality are both outstanding.
