GILLETTE RAZOR COMPANY TOURNEE BOB COUSY (SIGNED) DECKLED-EDGED PHOTO CARD (FRANCE)

Bob Cousy was the son of new French immigrants, his mother was already pregnant with him in France before moving to New York (where he was born). He grew up only speaking French until primary school. He went back to France on a promotional tour sponsored by Gillette Safety Razor Company in 1962. He directed basketball clinics in 15 French cities on what was called "Tournee Bob Cousy". This deckled-edged photo card is from that tour and signed on the reverse by Bob Cousy in May of 1962. This is the only example of this card that I have seen.

Measurements: 3.5" x 5.5"
