A routine trip to a Goodwill Outlet in the Portland, Oregon area could soon turn into a six-figure payday for 19-year-old Quinn Brown. Brown reportedly paid a mere $3.07 for a vintage Los Angeles Lakers warm-up jacket at the Hillsboro Goodwill Outlet in January, 2026, just outside the city.
Months later, experts authenticated the garment as one worn by NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain during the 1972 NBA Finals and the 1972-73 season, leading Sotheby’s to estimate its auction value at $150,000 to $250,000. At the high end of that estimate, the jacket would be worth more than 83,000 times what Brown originally paid.
