Christian Laettner "The Shot" Jersey - Lelands Auction

[Dewey2007]

Anyone think this jersey from arguably the most memorable game/play in college basketball history will get any action at this starting bid?

Wow! One-hundred grand out of the gate. Everything better be ironclad. Then again, crazier things have happened in this hobby.

Side note, has anyone seen "provenance" referred to as "providence" before?

Crazy. But you're right crazier things have happened.
I say no bids. Rather, no legitimate bids.

[Dewey2007]

I've seen the word "providence" used on this site a number of times when I believe they meant to say "provenance".

Would have been nice if Leland's had posted the letter of providence/provenance on the auction listing too.

Photomatch? On quick glance, the letters seem like they're all angled the same as the Leland's jersey...

I did see that photo. It was the highest resolution photo I could find with a quick Google search. The placement and direction of the letters looks pretty good. Unfortunately, it's gonna be a tough sell unless you can get a photo to show mesh holes and loose threads.

2nd mortgage?

Yeah, I feel the reserve price is a little high without photomatch support (or being directly consigned by Laettner)... I guess a high-powered grad might buy it and gift it back to Duke (where it really belongs).

I thought "Providence" was a city in Rhode Island?...

That reminds me of another hobby lexicon gaffe that makes my skin crawl...people referring to authentication as "authentification".
