Kledingstuk van NBA-legende: 3 dollar bij kringloop, fortuin bij Sotheby's

A 19-year-old American teenager named Quinn Brown purchased a seemingly ordinary short-sleeved jacket for $3.07 at a thrift store in Oregon. The item turned out to be a valuable training jacket once worn by basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1972–1973. After sharing photos of the jacket online, Brown contacted auction house Sotheby's, which confirmed its authenticity. The jacket is believed to have been worn by Chamberlain during the 1972 playoffs, a season in which the Lakers won their first championship in over a decade. The jacket is now being auctioned, with bids already reaching $12,000, and Sotheby's estimates its value could reach up to $250,000. Brown hopes to retire early with the proceeds from the sale.
