What's my autographed 'Marhsal's vest worth?
I saw Black Roadsters thread and it got me thinkin', what's my autographed 'marshal's vest from the 2006 Rally De Mexico worth? It's signed by both 5 time WRC World Champion Sebastian 'Seb' Loeb and 2004 WRC World Rally Champion Petter Solberg, the gentleman you see flyin' through the air in my avatar.

Interesting story behind how I got them but since I'm not a very good story teller you'll have to bear with me. My boss, myself, and 5 other from the Texas Region Spec 7 group decide to go to the Mexican round of the WRC. Day one is filled with great racing, good food, and a few beers. On day two the group splits up, group number two somehow sneaks into the restricted area where the drivers enter the service park. A few of the guys start talking with a few of the female marshals and one thing lead to another. Later that night at the bar, I'm sitting next to three of the guys who worked for (at the time) Marcus Gronholm's Ford BP car and we're talking about the schooling they had to go through in order to work for a WRC team. Back then I really really wanted to work for Subaru World Rally Team but now that they're gone, :(, I guess it's good that I couldn't afford to do it. Anyway, I digress. Back to the important bits. So we regroup at the bar later that night when one of the guys walks in wearing one of the NICE button up sponsor shirts that were given out to the higher ups in control of the rally. He gets questioned and said that for 20 bucks and a Corona he and another of our group were each given the super nice button ups and a marshals vest, all four signed by Seb and Petter. I immediately tried to buy the shirt, lol. Petter is my favorite driver, I had to have this piece of memorabilia but he wouldn't part with it. Later on he excuses himself and comes back a few minuets later and tosses me the vest pictured above. Ten minuets ago he wouldn't part with either and now he's giving me this, I was elated!
The hat is signed by a local driver who was nice enough to show me around his service area and let me have a look at his Subaru.
Anywho, that's how I got it and I've asked around on other forums as well as a few other places but I'd like to know what you guys think. I'd never sell so I suppose the sentimental value is through the roof, hahaha.
