OT: Auction for Ruth and Bernie's card collection

[dwinters]

A little off topic,

Everyone has probably seen the Mets jacket with Madoff's name being auctioned this week. He also had some of the new stuff (especially hockey cards).

With an unlimited budget, I would have thought he would have the finest sports card collection on earth. I guess the sons are hiding the vintage stuff in their homes.

ps. I apologize for outing this auction in advance.

Dennis,
It is too bad that his cards are being sold. Just think what they will be worth when he gets out of prison in 150 years! (Maybe 130 years with good behavior)

Oh hell, he's not even gonna do half; damned lenient justice system

Edited to add: when I was a little kid I thought that they actually kept the body in jail after the guy died until the sentence ended.

Just read the list of items being sold in NY. In sports items it's mostly hockey stuff. Does he have a big baseball collection?
