Yes, very inexpensive piece of memorabilia. Even the full-size giant football sideline blankets (which this is not, but the seller seems to be advertising it as a cousin) are going cheap these days. I bought my girlfriend a beautiful Stanford one, .ca 1915 for only $100 or so. I believe a 1940's Green Bay Packers one sold recently for peanuts as well. On the other hand, as you say, if you can find a graduate from 'U of C', the price goes up. I sold one of these to an alumni of another college, for a very nice sum (fair, of course
)
