About 16-17 years ago, I was going through a divorce and working three jobs to make ends meet while going to college full time. I was collecting Olympics autographs pretty hard and a guy had a signed photo of boxer Jose Torres and I won it for about 15 bucks I guess. This was before paypal, so I sent out a check. The day after I mailed the check my ex hit me up for some child support/alimony issue and I was out $600. For a guy delivering pizza and working at Burger King, $600 was the equivalent of a million dollars. So, needless to say, my little check to the guy for the Jose Torres was no good. I got an email from the guy basically calling me the most worthless piece of crap that ever walked the face of the earth and that he was taking me to court, blah blah blah. Anyway, we agreed that I would send him a money order plus $25 for his inconvenience to make it right. I got the Jose Torres photo shortly thereafter. To this day, I hate that picture. I don't even remember the seller's name at this point, but I remember how crappy he made me feel, and when I got the photo it wasn't fun to own. I still have it, and it is buried somewhere in my stuff.
