This is one of the rarest of NBA yearbooks. If you are assembling an historical NBA yearbook collection, this is a must have addition. Remember, they were only in the league one year. The Sheboygan Red Skins played in the Sheboygan Armory, which holds the record as the smallest official capacity home court ever for an NBA team.
This book is in great shape. There is some tape on the back cover, I am not sure why, because it does not extend to the front, and was certainly not needed to hold anything together. The stapling is still tight, and there are NO loose pages.
