A Historic Relic: Syracuse Nationals Ticket Sign

An Iconic Piece of Basketball History

Step back in time with this remarkable double-sided ticket sign, a true artifact from the golden era of basketball. Measuring an impressive 32 inches in length and 54 inches in height, this sign once proudly hung outside the Onondaga County War Memorial, beckoning fans to witness the thrilling games of the Syracuse Nationals. Crafted from heavy wood, the sign features a metal hanging fastener with hooks, ensuring its prominent display.

Design and Features

The sign’s design is both functional and eye-catching. Below the fastener, slots are provided for inserting the visiting team’s name, making it a versatile piece for various matchups. The bold inscription on each side reads, “vs. Syracuse Nationals Tickets on Sale Now!“, capturing the excitement and anticipation of game day.

Autographs of Legends

Adding to its allure, this sign is adorned with the autographs of four legendary figures in Syracuse Nationals history:

  • Larry Costello: Inscribed with “Syracuse Nats 1958-1963”.
  • Paul Seymour: Added the inscription “Player Coach 1947-1960”.
  • Danny Biasone: Signed as “President of Nats 1946-1963”.
  • Dolph Schayes: Noted with “1948-1963”.

Each autograph is rendered in black marker, collectively rating an overall 7 in quality. These signatures immortalize the contributions of these basketball icons, making this sign a coveted piece of basketball memorabilia.

Condition and Display

Despite its age, the sign remains in EX+ condition, with some scuffing to the paint and a missing lower left corner.
