1986-87 Charles Barkley Philadelphia 76ers Late Season/Playoff Game-Used & Autographed Home Jersey

Charles Barkley’s 1986-87 Philadelphia 76ers Game-Worn Jersey

A Legendary Player and His Iconic Jersey

Charles Barkley, an indomitable force in basketball history, was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006 and again in 2010 as a member of the United States “Dream Team.” Recognized as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, Barkley’s illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including being named the regular season MVP in 1993. In the 1986-87 season, Barkley led the NBA in rebounding, and his No. 34 jersey was retired by the Philadelphia 76ers, a testament to his enduring legacy.

Details of the Game-Worn Jersey

This remarkable jersey, a piece of basketball memorabilia, is a testament to Barkley’s prowess on the court. The front left tail features a “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag that reads, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS.” Below it, another “Sand-Knit” size “50” tag is present, accompanied by a strip tag with “2”LB” embroidered on it. The right inseam bears a tag with “100% NYLON” and washing instructions.

• Official NBA Logo: Embroidered on the left chest, symbolizing authenticity and prestige.
• Team and Player Details: “SIXERS” is emblazoned across the front, with player number “34” on both the front and back in blue on red tackle twill.
• Player Name: “BARKLEY” is prominently displayed across the back in blue tackle twill.

A Historic Game and Signature

Barkley signed the jersey below the back player number “34” in black pen, and in our opinion, the signature rates a 9 overall. This jersey is photomatched to a late-season game on March 6th, 1987, where Barkley delivered an outstanding performance with 22 points, 6 assists, and 18 rebounds against the Washington Bullets. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used in the playoffs, and in our opinion, shows excellent use.

Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, this jersey was originally sourced from another auction, with the consignor claiming it originated from the 76ers.
