Question
Recently purchased a #7 of 200 print of boston garden. It is signed by Larry Bird, Nate Archibald, Tommy Heinsolm, Frank Ramsey, JoJo White, Dennis Johnson, Cedric Maxwell, and many others. Its a "Nosebleed" shot and the celtics are in white and they are playing a team in red. Cant find this print anywhere on the net. I want to know if the photo was signed and then printed 200 times or if this #7 print was signed once by these players. There is an envelope on the back for a certificate but no certificate. Can you tell me more.


Answer
If there was originally a certificate of authenticity with the print, then I'm fairly certain that all of them were autographed by the team (the only reason for such a certificate would be to authenticate that the item was signed by the actual players).

As for more information on the origin of the print, the best I can offer is for you to contact the Boston Globe offices; it's a longshot, but they might have some information on it:
