Signed 1983 Harlem Globetrotters Tour Souvenir Program
This is an original souvenir program from the 1983 Harlem Globetrotters world tour. The cover features a classic illustration of a player in a red, white, and blue uniform spinning a basketball on his finger for a young child. The program is vertically oriented and printed on cardstock with a notable vintage patina throughout, including yellowing and surface grime consistent with its 40-year age. It is heavily autographed with at least five distinct signatures in black and blue ink markers, appearing to be from the 1983 roster which potentially include legendary players of that era. Physically, the item shows significant wear and tear: large diagonal and horizontal creases across the center, edge fraying, and a possible vertical fold line suggesting it was once carried in a pocket. The condition is fair to good, with visible moisture staining on the bottom right and general handling wear. The printing remains legible with bold red lettering for 'THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS' at the top. The item appears to be housed in a protective plastic sleeve, which has preserved it from further mechanical damage, though it does not hide the existing deep creasing and surface foxing.
