Beautiful 10" x 8" photo featuring a young Wilt Chamberlain, towering over his teammates and opponents in this in-game image with Overbrook High School in Philadelphia.  Even as a teenager Chamberlain was newsworthy, at one point scoring 74, 78, and 90 points in consecutive games and leading his team to two city championships with a 56-3 record.  According to legend, he was recruited by more than 200 different universities before he committed to Kansas.  

The photo, which pictures Chamberlain in the midst of a jump shot, does suffer from lesser contrast and a bit of surface wear.  The player is unmistakably Wilt, however, the focus not only of the photo, but seemingly of everyone in the eye of the camera.  An outstanding photo of a young superstar, one of the greatest ever to play.  Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
