Jesse Owens' Gold Medal Auction (clik here for bidding info and picture of the medal)
Just in time for Christmas. GoldinAuctions.com is offering one of Jesse Owens' four gold medals.
Minimum bid is $250,000.00. The info states that Owens gave this medal to a life long friend
John Terpak.
Terpak was a two time Olympian in weightlifting 1936 and 1948. Finished out of the medals both times, but somewhere in his life became good friends with Owens. Terpak was an executive vice president of the York Barbell Corporation. Thanks to Dave Elger for this story.
