Item Description
Trying to devise an athletic game that could be played indoors on cold winter evenings, Dr. James Naismith attached a Peach Basket to a balcony railing at the Springfield, Massachusetts YMCA . . AND BASKETBALL WAS BORN!Here is Bennett CACHETOONS' 3-color printed cachet on a FDC of the 1991 CENTENNIAL of BASKETBALL issue, in combo with a plate number single of the 1961 similarly-themed 1961 issue celebrating the centenary of Dr. Naismith's birth.
The cachet shows a typical player of the 1890s, near his Peach Basket, as well as the well-padded, and MUCH TALLER professional player of a century later!
The BASKETBALL CENTENNIAL single bears the USPS/Olympic Rings indicia of their joint sponsorship, that soon-after dissolved!
This is the only cover that was serviced with this dual-franked combo!
