Calling Sherlock Holmes, calling Sherlock Holmes. Or at least Rocky and Bullwinkle? Last October, New York Sharks owner and former quarterback Andra Douglas loaned her game jersey to the Sports Museum of America. It was displayed amongst thousands of other sports memorabilia including the Heisman Trophy and many items from tennis great Billie Jean King. Unfortunately due to financial issues, the operators of the museum are declaring bankruptcy and have shut the doors to the museum.
With the museum closing, you would think that it would be a simple task for Andra to pick up her jersey, but no! The people in charge of liquidating the museum's assets sent out a letter stating that all items not covered by a loan agreement would be sold. Fortunately for Andra she did have a loan agreement in writing but the letter sent by the liquidators also stated that all items covered by a loan agreement could be returned for a $1,500 processing fee. This was deemed by Andra to be totally unacceptable as there were no such strings attached in the original loan agreement.
At this point, the jersey is still being held hostage at an undisclosed location as negotiations start.
Maybe we need Perry Mason instead?
