BREAKING: RAIDERS FOR SALE

In the midst of an extravagant off-season spree ($52.5m for Tommy Kelly?), 10 reels of Raiders game film from the early 1960s are getting sold on eBay, along with a pile of Al Davis "autographs" apparently attached to canceled paychecks issued to the likes of Ken Stabler and Ted Hendricks. This is the second wave of Raiders relics to hit eBay in the last month. But, as it turns out, the Raiders' Dark Overlord isn't making a dime. We first heard about the auction in April, from a post on fansinblack.com that claimed to have the inside scoop: "The seller purchased a storage shed that had a lean [sic] on it for unpaid rent. It turns out, the renters were the Raiders … Inside the shed, he found THIRTY_EIGHT BOXES of Raiders history. Canceled checks to players and coaches, contracts, photos. and FILM,FILM, FILM! Game film of the earliest Raider games in the 1960-1965 area, as well as the 70s and 80s. He has not gone through all the boxes yet, so there may be many more treasures to come." So the Master of Mayhem keeps a storage unit? Let your mind play with that idea for a minute. We did, and it made our skin crawl. But if Al Davis really does keep Art Shell's mojo in a mason jar, it hasn't shown up on eBay. Neither has the Marcus Allen voodoo doll. By the time we clicked over, even the canceled checks had been removed, leaving several reels of coaching film—the kind of thing Matt Walsh might have produced if he was 30 years older—described as part of an estate sale.
