Circa 1979 Moses Malone Game Worn Houston Rockets Shooting Jacket - Signed "My Game Worn Warmup." High school players ascending to the NBA ranks can be linked to the great Moses Malone. If media coverage was wall-to-wall in the early '70's like it is today, Moses Malone would have been a nightly story given his prep success. This shooting jacket was worn by the Hall of Fame center when he played for the Houston Rockets - circa 1979. Showing wonderful wear is the offered "Rawlings [size] 44" jacket which Malone wore during his dominating days in Houston. "Rockets" is placed across the front in fire engine red tackle twill while the reverse features "Houston" in similar color. Yellow and red material is included in the lower half. Sewn in the inside lower button path is a Rawlings tag ("44" written in fading marker) along with an additional label announcing "4" Body 2" sleeve" additional length. The label is nearly washed out from launderings administered. Malone sealed the deal with a 10/10 signature on front and all-important "My Game Worn Warmup" inscription. A photo of Malone signing the knit button-up is included. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.
