Description: - 1962 SAN FRANCISCO WARRIORS Letter -- SIGNED by HOFer Edward “Eddie” Gottlieb -- Team Became “Golden State Warriors” 1971 -- Letter Addressed to NBA President PODOLOFF - RARE, early San Francisco Warriors LETTER dated August 6th 1962 and genuinely SIGNED by NBA HOFer Edward “Eddie” Gottlieb. Letter is typed-written on San Francisco Warriors LETTERHEAD, with an Indian headdress and spear incorporated in the title. Addressed to NBA President Maurice Podoloff, the letter requests waivers on team player Frank Radovich. EDDIE GOTTLIEB (1898 - 1979) was affectionately known as "Mr. Basketball" and "The Mogul". In 1918, he organized and coached the “South Philadelphia Hebrew Association”. From the late 1920’s to the early 1940’s, the SPHAs dominated both the Eastern and American Basketball Leagues, winning multiple championships and beating the original Celtics and New York Rens in the same season. Gottlieb was the owner, general manager, and FIRST coach of the Philadelphia Warriors in the BAA / NBA. His team won the BAA’s FIRST championship in 1946 - 47 and captured the NBA title in 1956. Following the 1961 – 62 season, Gottlieb sold the Philadelphia Warriors franchise to a San Francisco Bay area credit card company. The relocated team was known as the San Francisco Warriors, right up until the beginning of the 1971 – 72 season, when the team name was changed again to the Golden State Warriors. Gottlieb was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor in 1972. The annual NBA “Rookie of the Year” award, the "Eddie Gottlieb Trophy", is named after him. For 25 years, Gottlieb served as Chairman of the NBA Rules Committee. CONDITION: letter is guaranteed authentic and original. It measures about 8 ½ x 11 inches in size and is in EXCELLENT overall condition, with a dark signature by Eddie Gottlieb. There are two, light horizontal mailing folds, but NO rips or tears. There are a couple staple holes in the upper left hand corner of the letter and a small crease in the bottom left hand corner of the letter (see scans). Eddie Gottlieb’s signature / autograph is guaranteed authentic. Winning bidder to pay $10 for shipping, postage & INSURANCE. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. PLEASE READ: I have been buying + selling American historical autographs & documents for over 40 years and a former member of both the “Manuscript Society” and the UACC. We ship everything INSURED (thru the USPS) with a value over $50. This helps us know that the item you took the time to purchase arrived safely. Packages are shipped out within 1 – 3 business days, but typically the next day. Please understand, we do not make any money on shipping costs, but rather run a deficit over the course of a year. Most buyers don’t realize that ebay charges me a 13.3 percent FEE on the item sold, an additional 13.3 percent FEE on my quoted shipping charges, and another 13.3 percent FEE on the sales tax that ebay collects on the item. Everything we sell is packaged with the utmost care. Please read my ebay feedback over the last 25 years. The comments are often – the best packaging I have ever seen or “bullet proof” packaging. We do NOT offer returns for one simple reason. In the past, I have had some buyers purchase items from me and then proceed to shop them around during the return period to try and make a fast profit, without any financial risk. After they were unsuccessful, they returned the item to me. This information, however, made it back to me from different people I know who were directly offered my item immediately after I had sold it and before it was returned to me for a refund.
