Dan Hajducky, ESPN staff writer, reports a Wilt Chamberlain warm‑up jacket found in a Portland, Oregon Goodwill sold for $89,600 (including buyer’s premium) at Delta.

Quinn Brown, 19, found the jacket in a bargain bin, paying $3.07. He had been reselling vintage clothes for three years; his most expensive sale was $250.

After posting a photo, Sotheby's head of modern collectibles, Brahm Wachter, convinced Brown to consign the jacket. Sotheby's hired SIA Photo Match to verify the jacket, confirming it is a genuine Chamberlain piece.

The jacket was likely worn during the 1971‑72 season, and definitively matched to the 1972 NBA Finals, Chamberlain’s second title and pois Lakers’ first championship. It also links to the 1972‑73 season, when Chamberlain set a single‑season field‑goal record of 72.7 %.

The find demonstrates how a modest $3.07 purchase can become a prized collectible, driving prices to the high six‑figures.
