A nice display piece from the Atlanta Olympics is presented for auction.

This framed piece features teh sponsor pins arranged in the State of Georgia on a green background.

The piece is also signed by three Olympians from the 1996 games and past olympics

Kim Clarke - Women's Team Handball - Team finished 4th

Al Oerter - Four Time Olympic Gold Medalist in the Discus

Matt Gharaffi - 1996 Greco-Roman Wrestling Silver medalist.

The pins are from the following sponsors

AT&T
Bell South
Blue Cross & Blue Shield
Budweiser
Coca Cola
Delta Air Lines
Home Depot
Kodak
Nations Bank
Xerox

The plaque at the bottom identifies this companies as State of Georgia Olympic Committee Corporate Members.

The piece is numbered 0188 of 1996.

The glass and frame are in near mint condition. Apparent glass defects are reflections or scanner scum.

I would like to cover the cost of shipping and handling with the opening bid, so let's start at $25 (how much of that is shipping and how much is handling remains to be determined) with $5 minimum increments. I am going to let this run until Tuesday (6/23) evening at 8PM Sharp CDT.

The first image displays the frame and the reflection with a portion of a sofa (not included, but available for local pickup).

The second and third images are overlapping scans to show the detail of the pins and sigs.

Thanks for looking and bidding.
