Ultra rare - possibly the largest signed Maravich item in the hobby! A college basketball legend, “Pistol Pete” is still the all-time leading NCAA Division I scorer with 3,667 points scored and an average of 44.2 points per game. He took his incredible talent to the NBA where he was a 5-time All-Star and averaged 24.2 points per game during his career. One of the youngest players ever inducted into the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, Maravich was cited by the Hall as "perhaps the greatest creative offensive talent in history". Maravich died suddenly at age 40 during a pick-up game of basketball in 1988. Color 1970 23.5” x 35.5” Sports Illustrated poster signed “Pistol Pete 44” in blue ink with a Mint signature. The poster has border and corner wear including a few scattered tears, most of which could be matted out. Easily the largest format Maravich image offered at auction in recent years. Accompanied by full Letters of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA) and PSA/DNA.
