June 21

Highlights: Earliest photo-matched Michael Jordan 1984 Olympic jersey, earliest known photo-matched
road jersey of Yankee great Mickey Mantle, and much more

SCOTTSDALE, AZ Grey Flannel Auctions has announced details of its 2017 Summer Games Auction,
which will open for bidding on June 2 and close on June 21. The fully illustrated catalog containing 800+
premium-quality lots is now available to view online at www.GreyFlannelAuctions.com. All major sports
are represented in the impressive auction lineup, with an emphasis on provenance, authenticity and
rarity throughout.

The sale is headlined by an incredibly rare Michael Jordan 1984 Team USA basketball jersey worn in the
1984 Olympics held in Los Angeles. These games were essentially the platform through which Jordan
would be introduced to basketball fans worldwide. The jersey has been conclusively photo-matched to
USA Olympic play and is believed to be the only red-colorway uniform that Jordan wore for this
historic gold medal run. Fresh to the hobby, this museum-quality piece stands alone as the only
photo-matched Jordan Olympics jersey known to exist as well as the earliest fully documented MJ
example of its type extant. The bidding opens at $10,000.

Also featured is New York Yankee legend Mickey Mantles 1953 game-used and autographed road
jersey. It was likely issued for use in the 1953 All-Star Game and is conclusively photo-matched to a
photo taken in the spring of 1955. Mantle boldly autographed the jersey in blue pen on the left chest.
It comes to the marketplace from a gentleman who received it from a former Major League scout
during a Yankees tryout in the 1950s. He did not make the team but held onto the now-historical
piece, treasuring it for 50+ years before finally letting it go. Unquestionably museum worthy, it stands
as the hobby's earliest known photo-matched road jersey of Yankee great Mickey Mantle. The
bidding opens at $10,000.

A featured Golden States Warriors road jersey was worn by back-to-back MVP Stephen in a 3/24/15
game in which Curry recorded a double-double (33 points, 10 assists) and the Warriors clinched the
Pacific Division. Curry also threw down a rare dunk in the second quarter. Curry signed the back of the
jersey in black marker with the added inscription MVP. The opening bid is $5,000.

The most dominant defensive center in NBA history, Bill Russells player-worn fleece warm-up jacket
is another basketball highlight. The jacket was sourced directly from the Boston Garden when the
auction consignor's grandfather brought the jacket home following a game in the 1960s. The bidding
opens at $5,000.

Multiple Ken Griffey Jr. items sourced directly from the attic of Griffeys childhood home include his
1990 All-Star Game jersey and his Moeller High School jersey. Both jerseys are being offered for the
first time publicly and open with individual reserves of $2,500. Also featured is a unique Cincinnati
Reds full uniform worn by Griffey Jr., as a young child at a Reds father/son event.

A pristine-condition, hobby-fresh Babe Ruth single-signed baseball boldly signed on the sweet spot
in black steel-tip fountain pen highlights the autographed material. The baseball was given directly to
our consignor more than 70 years ago as a birthday gift from his father. Upon receiving this gift, the
consignor immediately put it away, knowing he would one day have something special. The baseball
has seldom seen the light of day, being handled very infrequently and with the utmost caution. This
directly reflects why the baseball currently reflects an almost unbelievably white and clean state. The
bidding opens at $5,000.

Worn by arguably the greatest left-handed pitcher in baseball history, Sandy Koufaxs game-used and
autographed home 1964 flannel jersey is also offered in this auction. Originally sourced from Koufax, this
museum-quality sports treasure is in 100% original and unaltered condition. Bidding opens at
$5,000.

Ted Teeder Kennedy was included in the first group of players to be named in 2017 as one of the
100 Greatest NHL Players in history. Offered in this auction is Kennedys game-used captains
sweater that was sourced directly from a gentleman who played for the Winnipeg Monarchs, an
NHL-sponsored junior hockey team. It was common for the Toronto Maple Leafs to provide this
junior team with equipment for practice. The gentleman was star-struck when this historical sweater
showed up in the junior teams gear, and kept it safely stored away for years. This is the first time
this sweater has been offered publicly. The bidding opens at $5,000.
