It doesn't say who bought this stuff and they expected 1 schmill for the thing?!! Damn look at what these items sold for.

The stick Eruzione used in the game was purchased for $262,900 in an auction conducted by Heritage Auctions in New York City.

Other items Eruzione sold through the auction company included his jersey worn in the gold medal win against Finland ($286,800), the warmup suit he wore during the gold medal ceremony ($26,290), Eruzione-used Team USA gloves ($53,775) and used pants ($26,680).

"There was definitely a lot of interest," said Chris Ivy, director of sports auctions for Heritage. "The 'Miracle on Ice' is clearly one of those moments where you remember where you were. It transcends sports and has become part of pop culture."

The auction house estimate for the jersey of at least $1 million wasn't realized, but Eruzione's stick was only projected to go for around $50,000.

Heritage, which has 18 other Eruzione items that it will sell on Sunday, also sold a game-used goalie stick from U.S. goalie Jim Craig signed by the "Miracle on Ice" team for $32,265.

The fact that those items are not in the HHoF is a travesty.
