A $3 Thrift-Store Jacket Turned Out to Belong to a Basketball Legend — It Sold for Nearly $90,000

A 19-year-old in Oregon bought a yellow jacket at a thrift store for $3.07. Experts at Sotheby's, a famous auction house, confirmed it belonged to basketball star Wilt Chamberlain by matching it to old photos. It sold at auction for $89,600 — though experts had guessed up to $250,000. No one knows how it ended up at the thrift store.
