Worlds most expensive vintage cycling jersey?
What happened here? Am I missing it's significance or something?

I had it on my watch list and it finished earlier today. Me and my girlfriend were stunned watching the auction in real time.

Perhaps wool jerseys are now in demand - who knows?
13 Euro to ship to a European address? A bit outrageous.
