Only saw it, they were asking $50 and it was in the glass case. Probably won't get out there again for a few weeks - Volt, if you're competing, it was at the store were you found the gold coin cufflinks.

Hmm, I don't think what I found today counts as a "safari" suit based on my Google image search...

I found three players' jerseys from the 2000 Dream Team... Nothing older yet.
