[Phil316]

Just curious what everyone's opinion on a Vince Lombardi worn West Point sweater would fetch. Possibly photomatched.

if it can be attributed to him, i'd say 10K and maybe even more..Unique item for high end football collectors.. One of a kind

This sweater was found "in the bins" at a goodwill outlet. I could not believe that something like this would make its way to a goodwill outlet store. A guy I have known for years found this. I believe it will be in Heritage Auctions in Feb in their platinum night auctions.

Chris you guys where my first thought. He had already set the wheels in motion.

What are the two white dots at the bottom of the sweater (waistline) in both pics? Do they match up?

Re: Vince Lombardi West Point Sweater

Very interesting! Any chance if seeing a pic of the name stitching in collar etc?

Absolutely incredible! Are there any other coach/game worn items of Lombardi in the hobby.

This was also discussed on "Mike & Mike" this morning. I caught it on the reply about 20 minutes ago on ESPNN.
