Exceedingly rare original program from Wilt Chamberlain's historic 100-point performance on March 2, 1962, in Hershey, Pa. To this day, the 100 points remain a single-game scoring record and is a mark that has never been seriously threatened. In this untelevised classic in front of a scant crowd of 4,124, Chamberlain shot 36 of 63 from the field and knocked down 28 of 32 free throws, leading the charge for his Philadelphia Warriors over the New York Knickerbockers 169-147. This is just the third example of this program we have ever handled in the last eighteen years! The 23-page program (7.75 x 10.75 inches) has a cover page that is almost entirely detached and has multiple creases and spots of discoloration. The back cover page is almost entirely detached, is missing a substantial chunk from the lower left, and has multiple tears. The scorecard, which appears on Page 13, is unscored. Pages 21 and 22 have multiple tears. In Poor condition overall. Despite the condition flaws, this is a superb piece of basketball history. Opening Bid $500.
