There's a lot of those things floating around

The torch run goes on seemingly forever. It's not like it's Bruce Jenner's discus from the '76 decathalon. It's a commemoritve torch from the freakishly bloated LA games, when he "ran" with a bunch of wannabe's and star f'ers.

Kind of like auctioning the game ball from a fantasy camp "all star" game.

Question is, was it the torch that Jenner ran with? Or was it the one that Lorsch "ran" with and handed off to Jenner?

Fact and figures on Olympic torches:

So what’s going to happen to those 8,000 torches used to transport the Olympic Flame to London this year? Well, you’ll be happy to know that they won’t end up in a landfill. The torchbearers get to keep them…as long as they fork over $330.

Yes, $330 is apparently how much the 2012 Olympic Torches cost. It may sound like a lot, but given that some torchbearers are now selling the things on eBay for thousands of dollars, $330 is a pretty good investment. (No, nothing is sacred.)

Update on the Heritage bid. I didnt at first notice a star after the $15,000 current bid. After checking it means there is a reserve price and it has not been met as of yet.
