Got up bright and early yesterday and drove over to the Orlando Magic official garage sale. Got there about 35 minutes before the doors were set to open, and I was 6th in line. They advertised having all kinds of stuff available, signed items, game used, old stock jerseys. When I got inside I bolted for the three tables I saw covered in sneakers. Here is what I ended up picking up:
Vince Carter Game Worn Sneakers

I also had a pair from Rashard Lewis, but I gave them to a friend who drove back over to Orlando with me to pick up a HUGE piece of artwork I couldn't fit in my SUV on the first trip. I also picked up this great Leroy Neiman print signed and numbered /250. I found a couple that ended on eBay over the last year using Terapeak, and it appears that I paid 1/10th of what it will sell for.

Also purchased this. I know it isn't sports related but I figured keep it all in the same thread. Initially I grabbed it because I love old black and white photography, and I especially love photography from hollywoods past. Well when I was loading it into my car I noticed it was signed and numbered 1/50. I honestly didn't even notice it was signed up until that point. So I decided to look up the artist, Terry O'Neill. Holy cow. This guy was THE photographer in the 60's and 70's and is still alive today. I found this exact print for sale for $1900-$2600 retail on a couple different art sites. I paid $20. I am going to have it looked at by a professional as it doesn't have a COA of any kind, but the measurements and print run (of 50) match similar ones that I found for sale, I can 100% tell that the signature and numbering are hand signed and not an auto pen or preprint so I already have that going in my favor.
