Tokens & Icons was selected by Boston Garden to celebrate the last of their storied 1946-1999 floor. After Boston Garden held its last basketball game in May of 1995, the parquet floor moved to the newly opened FleetCenter where it was used until December of 1999. The arena had 11 panels left, kept 2 and entrusted Tokens with the remaining 9. Tokens & Icons picked up the panels in-person directly from Bob Rutko, the head of Sports Memorabilia at TD Garden, and arranged for transfer of this precious cargo in 2010.
