It's been talked about in other threads, but the topic deserves its own thread.
Who collects swimming memorabilia? What's in your collection? Pictures? Autographs? Ribbons? Medals? Here is the place to talk about objects and artifacts you have that relate to the history of the sport of swimming.
OK, I'll start. Since I seem to have a 'bad girl' thing going with a surprise Eleanor Holm autograph, I thought an autographed copy of FHM with Amanda Beard (World's Sexiest Athlete cover) would be an essential. I saw one today on eBay and bought it for $10.49. In my lifetime, it may achieve an auction value greater than that. :cane:
I may have to bring a copy of the Amanda issue of Playboy to the Olympic Trials (in a plain brown wrapper, of course) and hunt her down for an autograph. For lack of a better description, signed copies of FHM and Playboy would make a nice pair.

That IS cool!
OK, so I have to admit I've been keeping a secret the last couple days...
On Tuesday, I purchased an extraordinary item on eBay:
Item #170162362766 - four personal scrapbooks that belonged to Aileen Riggin, listed by a seller in Zurich, Switzerland. It was a "Buy it Now" auction, and after I picked myself up off the floor, I clicked "Buy it Now" immediately.
...have already discussed with Bruce Wigo...
