Lot #778:

Vern Mikkelsen Game-Used Minneapolis Lakers & Two Pair of All-Star Shorts (3) (Mikkelsen LOA)

These shorts come to us directly from Vern Mikkelsen. On the inner waistband of the Circa 1957 Minneapolis Lakers game-used road shorts is the “Lowe & Campbell” manufacturer’s tag. Below is a white label with “36-8x3-rise”; On the inner waistband of the 1953 home white All-Star Game shorts is the “Horace Partridge” tag with size “38”. Below is a felt strip tag with “Mikkelsen” embroidered in red chain stitch. Heavy sweat staining; Inside the rear waistband of the 1956 blue road All-Star Game shorts is the “Horace Partridge” tag with size “38”. The shorts are properly tagged, were presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, show appropriate use. 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.
