PROVENANCE: Amazing and unique provenance & story! Jersey comes directly from former chilean defender Joel Molina who was gifted by "Mumo" Tupper of this amazing jersey after the game mentioned above in the dressing room and comes from his personal collection. As related by Molina himself  the story how did he got it  is incredible:

"Because my field position playing for Ohiggins those years, i was a fan of "Mumo", facing him in many games, so that day in January the whole team visited San Carlos de Apoquindo stadium in order to view  and attend the game between U.Católica and Temuco, who were participants in the 1993 pre-Libertadores Cup that we as Ohiggins  were also playing with Cobreloa in order to get one place to the final draw.  Our coach's idea was to know the possible rivals that we would face if we reached phase 2. (We were finally eliminated by Cobreloa.)This is how the game tie ended and  I quickly went down to the dressing rooms, where as professional players we had access in those times, and I went to greet Mumo, he recognized me immediately, we talked a bit and as a fan of his I asked him very clearly if he could give me his game jersey, he was surprised by my request, in fact he repeated to me that I was sure that I wanted HIS jersey, I told him yes, that I admired him, and suddenly "Mumo" took it out and handed it to me telling me "take care of it" for yourself. Raimundo was one of the best opponents I faced on a playing field, he was a gentleman, even though I kicked him several times. Since that time and after his death, this jersey occupies an important place in my life, it is a treasure that finally today I decided to leave it in good hands and I hope that the new owner will take care of his legacy for a long time to come, just as I did for 30 years."
