I actually bid on it to help get the price up, and ended up outbidding the guy who really wanted it. Whoops - One bid too many.(I know..I know -- against E Bay rules). My friend ended up giving it to me for my trouble.

Yes - It is amongst my collection Red Sox memorabilia, and is always good to break out and pass around to bewildered guests.
