Rick "The Rocket" Mount was a 3 time All-American who led the Purdue Boilermakers to the national championship game in 1969. Playing his entire career in the ABA, the then-exclusive three-point line worked to Mount's advantage, as he was an outside shooter. On the back inside tail of the jersey is the "Rawlings" manufacturer's size 40 tag. Next to this is another tag that has been washed out. Sewn next to that tag is a wash instructions tag. All three tags are partially falling off. Across the front of the jersey is "COLONELS" in blue tackle twill. On the front and back is the player number "30." Across the back is the player name "MOUNT." This lettering and numbering is done in blue tackle twill. The name on the back has been restored. The jersey is autographed on front in black marker and rates an 8. On the back inside waistband of the shorts is the "Rawlings" manufacturer's size 36 tag. Next to this is a wash instructions tag. The jersey and shorts show good game-use and besides the restored name on the back of the jersey, appear to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
