Hello everyone
I have received many emails about the Michael Jordan North Carolina Shooting Shirt in the upcoming live Mastro Auction at the National Convention
There are 6 bids (because of the live auction format, we don't know what the price is up to - it's still listed at the starting price of $2500)
Mastro sent MEARS a Michael Jordan North Carolina shooting shirt to examine and they called it "Unable to Authenticate" because of various issues including a name change which was discovered when put under a light table.
see below
If this is the same item, there is no mention of the mears letter or the name change in the mastro item description. If it's not the same item, it's an incredible coincidence.
Here is the item description
A light-blue knit pullover garment, the shooting jersey features "U," "N" and "C" block characters vertically arranged near the left breast, with the letters sewn in blue tackle twill to white, tablet-shaped twill designs. On the back, "JORDAN" is arched above his famed "23" identifier in white tackle twill, while "Tar Heel" foot-shaped logo patches adorn the sleeves. White trim lines the V-neck, tail and sleeve endings while, within the collar, a "Medalist - Sand-Knit" manufacturer's label denotes size "42." Moderate wear is evident, with minimal fading throughout and some puckering about the numerals on the back. With extensive and obvious game use, this is one of the very few surviving North Carolina Jordan artifacts that can clearly be deemed authentic. LOA from Lou Lampson.
Estimated Value: $5,000–$10,000
Emails to Mastro have yet to be returned. When they are, I will report what they say.
