Early 1950's Vern Mikkelsen Minneapolis Lakers Worn Road Shooting Shirt (Mikkelsen LOA)

Vern Mikkelsen was a four-time NBA Champion as a member of the Minneapolis Lakers, a six-time All-Star and was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1995. This shooting shirt comes to us directly from Vern Mikkelsen. Inside the rear collar is the “Lowe & Campbell” tag. Below is a white label with “8. MIKKELSEN 48 2” ex L”. On back is player name “Mikkelsen”done in script-style felt letters. The sleeves feature an elastic hem. The shooting shirt is properly tagged, was presented to us as worn and in our opinion, shows wear. Accompanied by a LOA from Vern Mikkelsen. Tremendous all original condition.

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. Previews of these and many other great pieces of basketball history can be seen in the back pages of our current May 30th catalog. View the spread in our eCatalog
