Dream Team jerseys

[Takuleechch]

Was just at Karl Malones memorabilia hall and he has a full set of game worn jerseys and shoes from the 1992 Dream Team.
All come with a signed letter from the player stating they are actual game worn Olympic jerseys.
So it got me thinking - wouldn't all the players have something like this?
Where are all the KNOWN LEGIT Dream Team jerseys?
Thoughts....

Re: Dream Team jerseys

My bad...just read the signed cert - his set was worn in the basketball tournament of the Americas (or at least his Jordan jersey was I didn't read the others)

Still is there any real olympic game jerseys out there? I doubt it

Re: Dream Team jerseys

Over the years, there has been probably 15-20 offered in various auction houses. I know GFC has had like 2 blue Jordan ones (one with shorts) in just the last 2-3 years. The "famous" REA white Jordan one from years ago sold for a huge chunk of money, even with McDonalds charity letter, that turned out to be a fake.
There was a white Jordan I just saw recently with a McDonald's charity that was legit (can't remember the auction house).

There hasn't been a true "MEARS A10" with 100% pristine provenance, except for the white McDonalds one as of late. Several auction houses have had 1992 DT "game worn" jerseys, but none that could be 100% truely "game worn" for sure.

I'm sure they are out there, but given the # of games played, I can't see more than 1-3 real "game worns" out there per player.
I was told by someone back in the 1990's when I was first looking into purchasing a blue Jordan one that there were only 2 blue ones made and 1 white for the actual tourney. I cannot confirm 100%, just what I was told by someone.

That is a freakin sweet pic tho of Malone's hall! Love it! Thanks for sharing

That is an amazing collection that Karl Malone has. I love how he has it set up in the pic you posted.

Thanks for sharing that!

Darn, wish there was an Edit button!

Ok, the last white Jordan DT1 jersey that came with McDonalds letter was, again, REA. They just auctioned in a couple months ago and it did come with a MEARS A10, so I stand corrected. I knew there was one!

However, in all my DT1 jersey research over the years, this is the "best" one I could ever fine with great provenance. All the others were either a) fakes or b) could not be proved to be really "game worn".

Re: Dream Team jerseys

Yea it's awesome! His and Stocktons are separate to the left, I couldn't fit them in the frame

Let's say they played 12 games and got new jerseys each time, I would think that they would all have a set. Maybe some players changed at half time?
