Summer Games #34 (Bidding Ends 5/30/2012)

Lot #777:

Circa 1959 Jim Krebs Minneapolis Lakers Game-Used Road Shorts & Circa 1958 Jim Krebs Minneapolis Lakers Worn Home Fleece Warm-Up Pants (2) (Mikkelsen LOA)

These shorts and warm-up pants come to us directly from Vern Mikkelsen. Inside the front waistband of the road shorts is the “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag with attached flag tag “38 +1” #32”. The inner lining of the zipper was torn and repaired by the team with tape. Player number “32” appears on the lower right leg in white tackle twill. The shorts are properly tagged, were presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows excellent use. Other than what is mentioned, there appear to be no further alterations of any kind. Inside the rear waistband of the home fleece warm-up pants is the “Lowe & Campbell” tag. Attached is a flag tag with “32-38x1-1/4x4”. On the outer left thigh is player number “32” embroidered in blue tackle twill. The pants are tagged properly, were presented to us as worn and in our opinion, show wear. Accompanied by a LOA from Vern Mikkelsen.

This lot is part of the personal collection of MPLS Laker great and Hall of Famer Vern Mikkelsen. Part two (and the majority of the highlights) of the Mikkelsen collection will be featured in our Seventh Annual Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Auction this September.
