(5) Pairs of Acie Earl Game Used and Then Some Basketball Shoes
It's time to let these go to another collector.
On March 5, 2006, I did a private signing with former Iowa Hawkeye and NBA player...Acie Earl.  After paying him for the signing session, I went ahead and purchased (5) pairs of autographed game used Acie Earl basketball shoes.
These shoes are LARGE...almost like boat anchors.  I need to clear out some room in my storage area, so I'm making this lot of (5) game used basketball shoes available.
The black shoes, look like they have mold on them.  I have no idea.  If you don't want them, after you get them, you can toss them.
Keep a pair or two, sell a pair or two and donate a pair to a local non-profit fundraiser/auction.
