Every happily had an item returned to you?

I recently sold someone my signed Carl Lewis 1996 USA Olympic singlet. After selling it I remembered that I had never been able to locate a single other example of ANY 1996 USA singlet. Not only that, I was actually at many of the 1996 Olympic events, and specifically made a point of seeing Carl Lewis in the long jump. So I had the memories, the ticket stubs, the program, even the track event sheets with Lewis' name…and a signed singlet. A perfect framing opportunity for the man cave.

The good news - the buyer filed a case against me with Paypal, claiming that I had sold him a child's size jersey, and not only that - a NIKE rip-off copy! But I kind of get it - I'm a medium to large in a loose singlet, and I'm quite certain I could not fit into either of these. Maybe Lewis really did wear a child's size!?!

I just retrieved the associated paper items and will post pics when the frame-job is complete…for the few post-war non-baseball guys in the forum.

Where in earth did you acquire that?

Also.. please make the image of you in a singlet leave my brain and this world for ever and ever. Amen

I won it in an RR auction. I had been looking for one that I could wear in marathons, but this is the only one of any size I've ever seen for sale, signed or otherwise.

For you, Ben, I will wear it and take a selfie.

I have a size 44 game-used Dallas Cowboys jersey which, by normal sizing charts, should have hung loosely on me. Picture such a jersey tailored for the no-fat abs of an NFL defensive back, then picture it on me.

Enjoy that image.

If you had those Michael Johnson gold cleats.....man.

I saw Michael Johnson any chance I got, but those gold cleats were the cheesiest aspect of the Olympics. On the other hand, he backed them up.
