Has anyone thought of checking Bob Costas’ swollen ass pocket?
Anthony Johnson is suing the agency, claiming it lost his jewelry and card collection valued at $329,000. He says the valuables were stolen in 2009 by a house guest and shipped to California.
Johnson says he alerted the Postal Service, which intercepted the goods. But the Grosse Pointe man says he’s only recovered cash that was taken, not the collection. The memorabilia include mint cards of DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron.
Johnson tells the Detroit Free Press it’s been a “three-year runaround.” The Postal Service has denied any negligence. Johnson says the collection was sent to an Atlanta postal site where it sat for months.
Today’s whereabouts? Unknown.

Pretty safe bet here.
Boggles my mind how people think these sort of things will work.
This doesn't sound like a government agency to me.
These kind of people seem to be some brand of sociopath. It's like they think they have some brilliant plan that the rest of us ####### morons will be helpless in the face of.
That was strangely hilarious.
My mom was a one woman destruction crew: The minute my back was turned and I'd moved out of the house, she threw out my '52 Topps Mantle along with a '53 Bowman Musial and a postcard from Mecca signed by "El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X)". Her sense of history in many respects was a bit less than perfect.
Bud Selig?
Is that an allusion to Thurber's exquisiste short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and its "pocketa-pocketa-queep-queep"?
I don't know who has Derrick Coleman's jewelry, but I'll bet it isn't Derrick Coleman in any case.
