TED WILLIAMS 59' UNIFORM SOLD FOR 70K
I read about this the other day but forgot to comment on it (article here). Some guy remembered that he had TED WILLIAMS' 1959 full uniform in the attic and then decided to put it up for auction, and got 70 grand for it. When I first read the article I was hoping he sold it at a garage sale or something though.
You know it's summer time when there are garage sales everywhere. I always thought the whole concept of a garage sale was condescending. It's like "hey, we don't need this garbage, but you probably could use it you poor bastard". It's always middle-class people selling to middle-class people too. Like if BILL GATES had a garage sale for example, that might be somewhere where you'd want to go. When some dude that lives down the street from you is selling his garbage, odds are it would probably be your garbage too.
