Not sure where Moraine is these days, perhaps he is rich and retired in Greenwich CT, but three things pop out to me as amusing 10 years later..
1. Sammy Sosa GU cleats where probably not the best investment.
2. Amusing that he thought he could retire young and rich in CT with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
3. He thought he was “investing”. For the amount he had already spent/invested on his collection in 2005, I imagine many of us could have invested that balance over the past 10 years in the market or other investment vehicles, and today would be sitting on a larger nest egg now then what his collection would have/has appreciated into. He failed to understand the simple concept of the cost of money.
…and if he is stupid rich now because if his collection, I take it all back.
