Now the Olympics are on, Anyone have any Memorabilia

I don't have any old Olympic stuff, but I found this a few months ago at a garage sale, on the "Free Stuff" table. It is the 96 schedule poster for LSU baseball with the olympic coach Skip Bertman and olympic player, Warren Morris (who later that year had the GREATEST moment in CWS history). The poster was signed when I found it:



Plus I have this gold medal from the 1983 International Special Olympics held at LSU. I was in high school at that time, and helped work the olympics:

I collect autographs and just a week before the Olympics started I got a nice signed card in the mail from Lindsey Vonn, who went on to Gold.

My brother has a set of collectible pins and tickets framed from the Atlanta games in '96. He lives in ATL and went to a few events.

I worked at McDonald's during the '84 Olympics (and worked in San Juan Capistrano, where the torch went right past us). I may still have a Sam The Eagle hat from my old uniform in a box somewhere.

BTW...my cousin Dain Blanton won the gold in 2000 Olympics for Beach Volleyball.

I have a bunch of pins from the 88 winter Olympics when they were held here in Calgary. My Sister was a volunteer, and ended up with oodles of crap, as the athletes would give her stuff they didnt want to pack back home !

Mostly some Mint issued coins and stamps from the Olympics (I usually buy them from the host country).

I did see there are Olympic stamps available as well as Silver Olympic Coins from Canada but thought I'd wait until everything dies down before purchasing.
