Description

Signed at a 1997 team event and consigned by daughter of longtime season ticket holder & superfan, Elain Becker, this 1987 Washington Bullets Game Used Shooting Shirt has (80+) notables from the district’s bygone era. The garment has a year tag "87" with "21" written to the right, though no player wore “21” in 1987. Ledell Eckles joined the team in 1988 and wore #21, indicating that this jacket was used by him the season following its original issuance. He has also signed prominently on center of the back, along with numerous Hall of Famers and Bullets legends including Earl Monroe, Walt Bellamy, Bob Dandridge, Chris Webber, Bernard King, KC Jones, Abe Pollin, and Wes Unseld. The shirt shows moderate use and light aging while the signatures average (6 to 9”) in strength and clarity.

Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA.
