Some of you old timers may remember Dan Knoll, a Chicago area guy who was a Cubs collector and serious jersey expert. Dan had a shop in a mall in the hayday in a southwestern suburban of Chicago. Woman walks into his shop with a Kareem Abdul Jabbar jersey and says her late husband used to work at the now defunct Chicago Stadium and was given this jersey by someone from the Lakers. She asked $100 and told Dan to think about it while she shopped at the mall. Dan makes a few phone calls, finds out it is the real McCoy, and pays her $1,500. We need more guys like him in the hobby.
