1961 Bob Pettit signed original photograph used for 1961 Fleer Basketball card measures 8x10" and is a posed shot of the Hall of Famer in St. Louis Hawks uniform, holding a ball against his left hip. It is perfectly signed across the clean white background of his uniform shorts in black fine tip marker, and the back is blank except for a small stamp identifying the subject and team in the bottom left corner. Pettit was the NBA's first Most Valuable Player, selected in 1956, earning the accolade again in 1959. Worth noting that the Hawks franchise - now located in Atlanta - has to date not had another regular season MVP. Not only was this image used for his Fleer card, but at this writing this exact image is on Pettit's Wikipedia page. Encapsulated as PSA Type I photo, dual-graded as PSA Auto 10.
