Re: MEARS Mumbo-Jumbo?
here's the thing - mears states in the lot description that they examined a maravich warm-up jacket from the same season as the ebay jacket, but it was a different style and did not match the ebay jacket.
because the jackets didn't match, mears is trying to claim that the jazz actually wore two different warm-up jacket styles during the season in question: the one they examined (which is presumably authentic) and the ebay jacket.
to that end mears is claiming that the jacket they examined is from the second half of the 1974/75 season while the ebay jacket is from the first half of the 1974/75 season. further complicating matters, mears insists on referring to the jacket they examined as a "1975 jacket" and the ebay jacket as a "1974 jacket". if you ask me, mears does this for a very specific reason. anyway, here's what mears wrote in the lot description:
"MEARS has examined an additional 1975 Pete Maravich warmup jacket (worn during second half of 1974-75 season), it was also a size 44."
so mears knows what type of warm-up jackets the jazz wore during their inaugural 1974/75 season - the only problem is it doesn't match their ebay jacket. so what to do? how about trying to float the notion that the jazz wore TWO different warm-up styles that year?
