    George Brown?

    I'm wondering why Otis Thorpe is giving away his jersey number.

    My stepfather bought one at a charity auction in 1995 for $25,000. I doubt this one will go anywhere close.

    Does it say "Champ City" across the bottom or "Chump City"? Either way, why doesn't it say "Clutch City"?

    This guy is also selling a 1995 Braves world series ring... you think these are probably fakes?

    You bring up a great point.

    Just yesterday I had to contact ebay because someone had hacked into my account (probably a virus that records keystrokes, thus getting my password), changed my e-mail address to his, with a similar name (greatly misspelled), and deciede to start selling items that didn't exist.

    i.e.: An Apple Powerbook for $2500 and a Minolta digital camera for $600.

    They apparently were attempting to get the bidder to send them the money and have me deal with the mess. Ebay tech support sucks, but they came through this time!

    All in all, I genuinely believe this is a legitimate item.

    Call me crazy, but I'd rather keep a part of the Summit floor that I have...

    Maybe it's one of those rings they made to pass out to the fans ?

    I've seen the 94-95 one on a website for $2500. This guy is not getting close to Nine grand for that thing.

    i have one of those rings they gave to the fans and that's definitely not one of those rings. that looks real to me, but anything can be forged.

    Hey, Mr. Mooch, the same thing happened to me.

    How did you handle it? What did Ebay tell you to do?
