Don Meineke Signed GPC – FIRST NBA Rookie of the Year

 

Don Meineke (Deceased) received the National Basketball Association's first Rookie of the Year Award after the 1952–53 NBA season while playing for the Fort Wayne Pistons. Meineke led the league in personal fouls and disqualifications the same season. The 26 disqualifications he had in his first year is still the NBA single-season record. His 334 personal fouls in only 68 games gave him an average of more than 4.9 fouls per game. Meineke played for the Rochester Royals in the 1955–56 season, and after sitting out the 1956–57 season, rejoined the relocated Cincinnati Royals in 1957–58.

Offered is a very rare signed GPC from his rookie year postmarked April 17, 1952 from the John Davis collection!
