3615 3615 Signed Wheaties Box from Bill Russell Here's a man who played like he had his Wheaties for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bill Russell is one of the 20th century's rarest athletes. A gold medalist in the 56 Summer Olympics, the bar was set high and this legend never disappointed. In his 13 year career with the Boston Celtics, his team won the NBA championship eleven times, including eight in a row. Five of those years he was league MVP. All of those years he was an NBA All-Star. Bill was named as one of the 50 Greats to commemorate the NBA's first 50 years. No ref could have blown that call. In fact, Bill is still considered by most to be the game's greatest player ever. This box is from Bill's personal collection. The box is still flat, and it is currently the only signed one given to charity. Given the scarcity of Bill Russell signed items, his signature is one of the most highly valued of any living person. It won't make you MVP, but it may make you as proud as if you were.
