I'm sure there are folks here (and no judgment from me) who would be happy to have some hall of famers 95 year old used athletic supporter. Yeah, try explaining that to someone who is not in the hobby.

I was offered a Mickey Mantle supporter by an elderly lady at a show in Columbia, MO a few years ago. I asked her how she got that, and she said: You know! For some reason I told her I had no interest in that particular item. To each his own, but I have no use for either used jock straps or autographs.
