    University of Kentucky Basketball 1930s-1990s Autograph Collection RARE One of a Kind!!!
    “Jaclar” brand Gigantic Hi-Top Sneaker PROMO SAMPLE
    Manufactured in the 1980s (over 30+ years old!)
    Allegedly a Size 35
    Measures 21” long x 7” wide x 10” tall
    Very rare shoe sample contains 34 Total UK-related signatures (30 players and 4 coaches/announcers)
    A TRUE one-of-a-kind opportunity. Signatures are guaranteed authentic as all of them were collected in person by me from 1989 to 1994. 31 of the 34 were obtained in February 1991 in Lexington, KY at two different UK Basketball Alumni events. Several national champions, NBA Champions, NBA All-Stars, Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers, and Olympic Gold Medalists included. Many who are sadly no longer with us.
    Plenty of room left on the shoe to add another two dozen signatures for those who want a challenge! Here’s a detailed list of each signature:

    Some signatures are fading due to uneven shoe surface and just plain ole time, but all guaranteed genuine
    as I met each player personally, and obtained all signatures myself and in person
    . A definite Who’s Who of UK Basketball history from the 1930s to the 1990s. Will include my two page handwritten personal log of who signed it, when, and where.
    This is one of the marquee items from my private collection of UK/Collegiate memorabilia that I am breaking up. Don’t miss your one and only opportunity to own a 1 of 1 UK museum piece.
    Take this to a UK home game to have whichever UK Alum is broadcasting the game to sign, and you're odds of getting on TV are pretty good, lol.
    Still needs Dan Issel and Coach Cal to sign...
    Many more UK and college collectibles to list in the future. S
    HIPPING options available, but prefer to hand deliver. Can arrange local pick up in the Indianapolis, IN, Lexington, KY or Louisville, KY areas.
    Sorry, no international sales.  If you don't have a minimum eBay feedback score of 10, please do not bid/purchase as I will cancel the bid/order.  Thank you, and Go Big Blue!
