1960s Original Team Issue Bob Pettit Essex Meats Match Image NBA 'Type 1' *

Description: Bob Pettit (born 1932) is a Hall of Fame basketball player widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern professional basketball. A standout forward for the St. Louis Hawks (1954–1965), Pettit was a two-time NBA MVP (1956, 1959) and a consistent scoring and rebounding force on the court. Known for his versatility, skill, and leadership, Pettit was one of the first players to embrace the combination of outside shooting and inside play, influencing the development of the forward position. He was a six-time All-Star and a key figure in the early years of the NBA, helping to elevate the league's popularity. Pettit was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1971 and is remembered as one of the greatest players of his era. The 1961 Essex Meats basketball card set is a rare and unique regional issue that consists of 72 cards featuring players from the NBA's early 1960s era. Produced by Essex Meats, a company based in the Northeast United States, the set was distributed as part of a promotional campaign tied to meat purchases, making it a somewhat obscure and limited release. The cards are notable for their black-and-white photographs, a stark contrast to the more colorful designs of other card sets from the time. The set includes many Hall of Fame players, such as Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, and Bill Russell, making it highly desirable among collectors of vintage basketball memorabilia. Because of its rarity and regional distribution, the 1961 Essex Meats set is considered a highly sought-after piece of basketball history. This image was used to create Bob Pettit's 1961 Essex Meats card. Card pictured not included. The photo measures 8x10 in and is developed on Photograph paper and features photographer markings on the reverse side. This is an original piece. *While this photo has not been professionally classified, experts at Cardstockz have used paper type, image quality, and provenance to determine that in their opinion, this is most likely a Type 1 photo. Cardstockzbay does not accept returns or refunds based on PSA classification. A Type 1 photo is a 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within approximately two years of when the picture was taken).
