Collection of fifty-four photographs, each capturing Boston Celtics Hall of Fame guard Bob Cousy. These photos originate from the personal collection of a former Boston sportswriter, who acquired most of them from either his newspaper's photo department, or the Boston Celtics public relations department. Many are news photos (including wire photos, where the caption is embedded in the photograph), but publicity photos are also present. Only a few capture Cousy on the court as a member of the Celtics. The vast majority picture him off the court and include several of him crying at his retirement announcement. Approximately eighty percent of the photos measure either 7x9" or 8x10", with the remainder either slightly smaller or larger. Because most are news photos, many display flaws consistent with their former use, including, but not limited to, trimming, creasing, crazing, edge tears, editorial shading and/or markings, pinholes, and writing on the reverse. Please note: none of the photos have been evaluated by PSA, therefore no guarantees are made regarding specific Type designations, however, we believe the majority are NOT Type I examples.
