Famous Bra Among Sports Items Potentially up for Auction

It's never too early to start holiday shopping, and the bankruptcy courts in New York want to help you.

The Sports Museum of America, a for-profit organization in New York, recently declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  Among its items that have been taken into custody by the courts, according to the Wall Street Journal, are a Tony Hawk skateboard, a Mike Eruzione jersey from the Team USA 1980 hockey team, and - get this - the black sports bra Brandi Chastain exposed when she scored the game-winning goal in the 1999 Womens World Cup.

Over 500 items are in storage, according to the report, and have been offered back (for purchase) to the original owners.  Brandi's bra was offered back to her for $250 plus shipping.  If the items go unclaimed, they'll go up for auction.

So get your shopping lists together.  You could walk away with a Jesse Owens gold medal, some Richard Petty sunglasses, or a Randy Johnson no-hitter ball.
