Description
1946-95 Original Boston Garden Parquet Floor Section Signed & Inscribed by Bob Cousy. Here is your chance to literally own a piece of history. This massive and weighty section of the famed Boston Garden parquet floor measures to the dimensions of 19.5x42x2.5". The vintage "F6" notations allowed the arena staff to assemble it for countless nights of Celtic magic. On this surface, the Boston won sixteen NBA crowns with players like Cousy, Sharman, Russell, Hondo, Cowens, Bird, McHale, Parish and D.J. The surface features perhaps the largest known Cousy autograph, measuring approximately 6.5x18". And The Cooz added the following inscriptions for good measure: "1957 N.B.A. M.V.P.," "The Houdini of the Hardwood," "Celtic Pride," HoF '71" and "Mr. Basketball." The floor was original sold in the 1990's by the Boston Garden and "The Historic Boston Garden Parquet" holographic sticker from that sale is affixed. The Historic Boston Garden Parquet sticker.Guide Value or Estimate: $10,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding.
