Wow! Great job in finding that! Much like Greg "The Hammer" Valentine was known as "The Master of the Figure Four Leg Lock" you are now known as "The Master of the Interwebs"!!

That’s great research, much appreciated!

I don't know anything about this site but I wonder if it would be worth your while to join and find out how much those items sold for??

I LMAO at the description of that megaphone being the official megaphone of the "Mexican 1968 Olympics". You may not know this but the Mexicans swept every medal in those Mexican 1968, Olympics. As a matter of fact they had every placement in every event from first to last. Mexico was the world powerhouse in sports back then.

And you'll be shocked to know that after every event the Mexican National Anthem was played! Who would have guessed?

John Carlos and Tommie Smith might have something to say about that...

Looks like that lot sold for just under $600, none of the speakers were still attached to their cards, so I think $175 is just about right.

Not as weird today…

Had to buy this back when I was smoking

Here's an oddball thing I found when cleaning out my closet. I think it was a giveaway at Yankee Stadium. I never unwrapped it.

"I'd walk a mile for a Camel" ....back when I smoked 'em I'd walk 10...if I was out!

I do a little coin collecting when I see something nice, mostly silver. This is an 1884 Morgan Silver Dollar "O" which means it was minted in New Orleans. Not sure of true value, had to clean it up a bit when I got it at a pawn shop in Dallas. $30 got me this...

Same here! LOL I gotta admit that I loved smoking. But now that I don'ke anymore, I'm not a smoking ****. If someone smokes around me it doesn't bother me at all and most ex smokers are the worst when it comes to that.

I loved it too! Then Camel Turkish Gold went up to $12 a pack and i couldn't do it anymore... I tried the cheap cigs but they just tasted horrible!!
No one close to me smokes so I don't get that cig smell around me. My problem is when people smoke on movies... that's when the craving hits!

I was about to toss this, but if there are any Yankee fans that collect oddball memorabilia, I would trade it for cards.

I'm pretty sure it was a promotion given out at the stadium on that day, May 1, 2002.

So Chad Hennings flew Warthogs in the Air Force in the early nineties before playing for The Cowboys. I love military history and jets, the Warthog being my favorite, so when I bought a small model of the jet and saw the box lid I said I had to try to get him to sign it for me... just an off the cuff idea. Well I actually sent it to him with a letter and a bit of a donation to his charity and got it back today. And he sent the money back with a note to give it to a local church, so I'll be giving it to the church I go to... such a cool little piece!

Cool item from an obviously cool guy. THose A-10s were stationed right next to where I worked in Syracuse and those things were always flying overhead. They retired the A-10s for that unit just before Gulf War 1 for a more modern plane. Big mistake as the A-10s were exactly what as needed in Iraq. The re[;acement [;ane was too fast for accurate aiming and there was some problem with the sites on the new plane as well
