The Vancouver Olympics are over, but interest in the sports memorabilia is not; in fact, it’s growing.
VANOC is auctioning off nearly everything it used during the 2010 games, including game-worn jerseys and podiums.
Many of the pieces are hot-ticket items, including a puck used in the men’s gold medal game that’s going for $2,000.
A Canadian men’s hockey jersey signed by Sidney Crosby is past the $6,000 mark – and there’s no indication it was even worn during the big game.
Also, a puck signed by Roberto Luongo is up to $375 so far.
