Green jerseys on Jets day?

They probably threw the shingles out!

Today, they'd be selling them for $40 a piece -- and I'd buy one.

I'd love to have five or six of them hanging on the side of my house!

Try adding a zero to that.

Word remains that seats from Shea will be sold off at $500/per when they tear it down.

I don't know if it is true or not, as this is a friend of a friend kind of story from 20 years ago. But said friend of a friend (or relative), allegedly took a shingle from Shea back in the early 80s. He claims they were dumped at the bottom of one of the walk ways, behind a gate or door that happened to be unlocked while he went past. Went in, picked one up, and was gone. I was always dubious in that I imagine those would be awfully big to try to smuggle inside a shirt. Or maybe he was on his way out at the time.

I don't know how big they were, but my best guess/recollection would be that they were at least four feet by four feet. Perhaps six by six.
