A couple ran a successful sweep through the racks at a Goodwill store last June in Asheville, N.C. Sean and Rikki McEvoy of Knoxville, Tenn., bought a vintage West Point sweater that was on sale for 58 cents. It turns out the sweater was once owned by Vince Lombardi, who coached at the U.S. Military Academy from 1949-'53 before earning fame with the Green Bay Packers.

...

■ The sweater is up for sale at Heritage Auctions. The bid as of Monday evening was $20,000.

■ The McAvoys didn't know what they had found until they stumbled across a documentary about Lombardi that included a picture of the coach wearing a similar sweater.

■ The couple looked closely at the sweater and found a tag that read "Lombardi."

The tag says "Lombardi."

Damnedest thing. I bought Davey Crockett's coon skin hat at Disney world last summer. And Bear Bryant's houndstooth hat at tj max.
