Three years ago, the New York Mets privately sold a group of game-used jerseys from its first game following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The biggest jersey of them all has been re-sold -- so it can be displayed in public.
Two minority owners of the team paid $365,000 for the jersey worn by Mike Piazza during that memorable game so it can be displayed at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the Baseball Hall of Fame or the Mets museum at CitiField.
The jersey had been put up for sale via Goldin Auctions, which entertained offers to end an auction for the jersey early only on the condition it be displayed. The jersey's story landed it on the back cover of the New York Daily News today.

Many of us can't afford to land a copy of Jackie Robinson's iconic 1952 Topps card -- his first Topps card that sells for hundreds in low grade and thousands in high grade -- but a Jackie Robinson Day special today from Blowout Cards gives us all a shot at the next-best thing.
Oh, and a shot at a cut autograph, too.
In 2013, Topps released a version of its flagship factory set with Chrome bonus cards of that Robinson card as well as rarer parallels and cut autographs in the mix. The set was one of a few options for those wanting to buy the set all at once rather than build it from packs.
What's the best way to start a Jackie Robinson card collection?

Today's the day where everyone in Major League Baseball dons No. 42 as a tribute to the man who changed the game -- and America -- forever.
On this day back in 1947, Jackie Robinson became a baseball and social pioneer, breaking MLB's color barrier and helping change how the game was played. His actions undoubtedly helped with the civil rights movement, which had its landmark legal act nearly two decades later.
Collecting Robinson isn't easy on a budget, but there are a few options for fans.
