Lot #22:

1975-1976 Bobby Jones ABA Denver Nuggets Game-Used Road Jersey (Photo-Matched • Rare Armband • ABA Finals Season)

Bobby Jones had a 12-year pro career that featured eight selections to the NBA All-Defensive First Team; the first-ever NBA Sixth Man Award; membership on the ABA All-Rookie Team; four appearances in the NBA All-Star Game and one in the ABA All-Star Game; and perhaps most prized, an NBA Championship with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1983. Above all, Jones’s value as a player was evidenced by the fact that his teams never missed the playoffs. On the front left tail is the Wilson manufacturer’s tag size “48” with washing instructions. Attached is a hanging flag tag that reads, “4” X Long” handwritten in black marker. On the left shoulder is a black memorial band. Across the chest is the Nuggets team logo and reads, “Denver” in red, white, blue, and yellow done in a combination of embroidery and tackle twill. Below is the player number “24” done in yellow tackle twill. Across the back on a blue nameplate reads player name “B. JONES” and below is player number “24” both done in white tackle twill. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use.

Please note that the photo-matching and grading authentication work on this jersey was performed by a new hobby service for game-used material PM&G. More information can be found at Photo-Match.com
