Hey, take a walk through the pictures and let me know if anything catches your eye and I'll try and get it for you:

[Riptide]

I'll take a pass on the used bathrobe, thanks.

 

[Machine Head]

I already called dibs on that.

And the shoes. The red high tops and the snakeskins.

Walt? Look again, they're adding more pictures.

One of those pairs of shoes made me wonder if Sid had a secret career as a pimp.

I'll reserve judgment on the footwear until our esteemed moderator weighs in.

Old clothes . . . really? I was hoping for a manual typewriter.

He's old enough to have watched Ted Williams play for the Minneapolis Millers, to have covered Willie Mays playing for the same team, and to have covered Bud Grant playing for the Gophers and Lakers and coaching the Vikings, among other things.

He also probably has a set of dentures from Halsey Hall. At one time he was the GM of the Minneapolis Lakers. Sid has earned his many detractors, but what an amazing life.

I'd rather have Judd Zulgad's hoodie. :D

So slap, this is what you want me to get for you?

I shall do my best!

 

[inkstainedwretch2]

I want his list of phone numbers

Welcome back.

But the robe and shoes are mine.

[Browniepoints]

I'd go $20 on a Sid Bobblehead, and I'm DEAD serious.

 

[inkstainedwretch2]

If there is an autographed picture of Kid Can Bloomenfeld, I want it

 

[tapintoamerica]

Did anybody buy anything at this event?

Up next, Bud Grant:

In January, legendary columnist Sid Hartman had an estate sale that attracted an interesting cross-section of folks (including us).

It's only fitting, then, that legendary former Vikings coach Bud Grant -- his best friend -- is following suit with a massive garage sale this week.

Sid and Bud are best friends? Knew they were close, but besties?

My dad used to see them together in the 40s. Sid had a caddy back then, too.

Come to Minnesota!

We're selling EVERYTHING!

The troughs in the men's bathrooms at the Metrodome, one might argue, were a microcosm of the Dome itself.

While the Dome is nothing but rubble and memories, a urinal is apparently forever.

That's right, buy your very own urinal trough from the Dome!

Bid Now!

This makes you want to buy, right? From auction site:

Work great for livestock feeders or beverage coolers.
