The 15-man picture turned out to be the hottest pinup poster of the Summer Games. Priced at $5 each, the first batch of 10,000 quickly sold out, the second is nearly gone, and there are plans for a third printing.

The guy couldn 't find a copy of my pinup? Actually, it really shook me. And now I hear that he's out on parole for murder.
