1964 Dave Wilcox Hula Bowl Game Worn Jersey
<B>1964 Dave Wilcox Hula Bowl Game Worn Jersey from the Dave Wilcox Collection.</B></I> What college kid would pass up a chance at a free trip to Hawaii? Certainly not future Hall of Fame legend Wilcox, who gladly accepted the offer to play in this college all-star game of sorts headquartered in our fiftieth state. This red durene jersey issued to Wilcox for the game has contrasting white durene shoulder panel inserts which house an array of screened on blue stars. The star motif continues in white onto the upper portions of the red durene sleeves. The "90" numerals are affixed in white tackle twill in standard, full block font. Why Wilcox wore "90" in this game after wearing "64" at Oregon and continuing with this number for many years with the 49'ers, is open to conjecture. Wilcox personally has no recollection of the number origins, so it is safe to assume that "64" was pre-issued or did not exist. The jersey sports a 1960's era "Spanjian [size] 48" label affixed at the lower left seam area of the front tail. "Spanjian," a major West Coast Uniform distributor, would have been a logical choice as supplier of Hula Bowl uniforms. The jersey shows appropriate single game usage. The stars screening show some color degradation, particularly the white ones, but this does not detract from the jersey's visual appeal, nor do some small unrepaired holes. An important college all-star game representation of an NFL Hall of Famer, sourced directly from the player. <I>LOA from Lou Lampson.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
