1978-1979 Rick Barry Houston Rockets Game-Used & Autographed Home Jersey (Barry LOA) (Very Rare) (JSA)

Throughout his Hall of Fame career, Rick Barry won the Rookie of the Year award in 1966, was an eight time All-Star and a World Champion in 1975. He is considered by many veteran basketball observers to be the greatest pure small forward of all time as a result of his very precise outside shot and uncanny court vision. Barry was voted to the NBA 50th Anniversary All-Time Team in 1996 and elected to the Hall of Fame in 1987. On the front right tail is the "Rawlings" manufacturer's size 40 wash tag. Across the front is "ROCKETS." Below that and on the back is the player number "2." Across the back is the player name "BARRY." All lettering and numbering is done in red tackle twill. Autographed on front in blue marker and rates a 9. The jersey shows good game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. The shirt is accompanied by a hand-signed LOA from Rick Barry as well as a LOA from JSA.
