Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! An original vintage promotional advertising broadside poster printed on paper cardstock for a Harlem Globetrotters basketball game and variety show. The event took place on Sunday, December 2, 1962, at the Burlington Memorial Auditorium in Burlington, Vermont, featuring a game against the Atlantic City Sea Gulls during the Globetrotters 36th season. The poster also advertises a special appearance by legendary jazz performer Cab Calloway. The illustration features a Globetrotter player spinning a globe, designed by illustrator Karl Hubenthal with his printed signature KArE HUBENTHAL in the lower right corner. The right margin features a printed Chicago Allied Printing Trades Union Label with the number 188. Ticket prices are listed as ranging from 1.50 to 3.00 dollars, with local Burlington outlets noted.
