Lot #780:

1957 Vern Mikkelsen NBA Western Conference All-Star Game-Used Uniform (2) (Mikkelsen LOA)

During the 1957 NBA All-Star Game, Vern Mikkelsen scored 6 points, had 9 rebounds and an assist. This was one of six All-Star Game appearances for Mikkelsen throughout his career. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1995. This uniform comes to us directly from Vern Mikkelsen. Inside the front center tail is the “Horace Partridge” manufacturer’s tag with size “46”. Attached is the size “L” flag tag. Player number “34” appears on both the front and back in white satin-like twill. On both the front and back are six red satin-like twill stars. Inside the rear waistband of the shorts is the “Horace Partridge” tag with size “38”. The uniform is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows 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. 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
