Howie Dallmar Signed GPC from 1949 Philadelphia Warriors Stanford Penn
|
Howie Dallmar played collegiately at Stanford University. He led Stanford to the 1942 NCAA Championship, earning Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors. After transferring to Penn, he was an All-American selection in 1945. From 1946 to 1949, he played professionally for the Philadelphia Warriors of the Basketball Association of America (a forerunner to the NBA). Dallmar was the third leading scorer (behind Joe Fulks and Angelo Musi) on the team which won the 1947 BAA Championship. He was All-BAA first team in 1948. Dallmar coached the University of Pennsylvania basketball team from 1948 to 1954, before returning to Stanford as head basketball coach in 1954. He remained at Stanford for 21 seasons, compiling a 256-264 record. He died of congestive heart failure in 1991.
Offered is a signed gpc postmarked from January 6, 1949 in Philadelphia. From the infamous, Roy Pitts collection. Interestingly enough on January 6, 1949, the Warriors played the Baltimore Bullets in Baltimore and lost 93-88. Dallmar scored 6 points. We presume this went out in the mail that morning or someone in the Warriors front office mailed this for him.
