How do you track down 50's basketball jerseys?

[gingi79]

Anyone have a suggestion on how to track down basketball items from the 1950's? Specifically, Rochester Royals and NYU stuff from a little know (outside NY Jews over 70 :D) player Boris Nachamkin

Wish I could help. But I thought you might be amused that I stayed at Boris' home in London back in the 80s. I used to hang out with his son, and the family generously hosted me when I visited London. Very, very nice man. And an avid sports fan -- particulary of English soccer team Chelsea. Just curious -- how did you become interested in Boris?

He was my father's cousin.

I'm no geneology expert, but I believe that I went to college with your second cousin, once removed!:)
