Bud Grant Garage Sale: Vikings Memorabilia Event Returns

Legendary Minnesota Vikings coach Bud Grant will hold his annual garage sale in Bloomington next week to sell some of his vast collection of Vikings memorabilia despite saying last year's sale would be the last.

Grant had indicated 2017 would be it for his garage sale.

"I'm 90 years old. I can’t predict what they’re going to do next year," Grant said at the time, CBS Minnesota reported. "Never say never, but it’s the last one this year."

But the garage sale was posted on Craigslist last week and says the event will happen from Wednesday through Friday this week.

“You never know what you will find at a Bud Grant Garage Sale,” the ad reads. It lists clothing, hats, merchandise, new items, collectibles, balls, and one-of-a-kind items. Grant will be there and will autograph items for a fee, Vikings Wire reported.

Grant’s garage sale has become almost as well-known as his coaching accomplishments. Grant coached 18 seasons for the Vikings, appearing in found Super Bowls and winning 62.1 percent of his games. 

Twitter enjoyed hearing a radio interview in which Grant talked about the garage sale.

91 year old Bud Grant saying he accepts bitcoin at his garage sale isn’t something I thought I’d hear today. I love this show @LeBatardShow
