Mod note: This Thread was started in 2008 and all posters who have responded are not active members of this forum.

About 30 years ago I attended a basketball camp in the Poconos that was run by Dave Bing. There were alot of other pros there, in fact I think it was called Dave Bings all pro camp. Before I left I had all the pro's sign a program.
they included;Dave Bing, Maurice Lucas,Campy Russell, Terry Furlow,Howe Landa, and two others I can't quite identify. One might be Don Carlisle and the other looks like Vito Talius. I recently found the program, and I'm wondering if there is a market for this type of thing. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

I neglected to submit that you could try eBay....there's a big sports memorabilia following there. Or take ottoan older local sporting goods store
foran informal opinion /guidance. You never know who might have a sentimental attachment to some of those names and would pay at least something to possess the sigs.

Dave Bing is in the hall of fame, Maurice Lucas and Campy Russell were all star NBA players Terry Furlow was no slouch and Howe Long still is coaching in the NBA I think. I thought maybe there sigs would be desirable,at least to the Pa. locals. I'm just looking for a market. Since I hav'nt seen anything like it anywhere it has proven to be more difficult than I originally anticipated.

You might also be able to browse around this site Trading Card Central - the resource for sports and non-sports trading card collectors | trading cards, sports cards, non-sports cards, collectibles and see if it will point you to the right direction in determining the value of what you have.

I am in the process of inventorying a whole tote full of sports trading cards and other such items...man is it a lot of work...lol...

Default I know him!!!

I would like to have what you are trying to sell....I worked at the camp for two summers and still keep in touch with Dave on occasion.
Did you know Terry Furlow was killed in a car accident shortly after being traded from the 76ers?

All-Pro Basketball Camp in Pocono Pines, Pa. It was run by Howie Landa and Dave Bing. Howie did the girls and Dave did the boys. The work together. I worked there summer of '79 & '80. A few of us just met up with Howie in Pa. We want to have a reunion in Vegas, Howie lives out ther now. Looking for former campers and counselors.
