Original Rules of Basketball on Sale for $10 Million

From ESPN.com:

Ian Naismith, the grandson of the man who came up with the idea for the game while working at a YMCA in Springfield, Mass., says the asking price is $10 million, or less under the right circumstances. . . .

Naismith hopes a corporation comes forward with a deal, which would include sponsorship of a two-year nationwide tour to display the rules in a 40-foot motor coach. Ultimately, Naismith hopes the rules will be put on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.

"It's not an easy decision, but it's time," Naismith told The Kansas City Star. "They've been pretty much unseen for 110 years. There's no reason for them to be in a vault or anything like that for another 110 years."
