Barney’s first tie, a deep burgundy Versace pure twill silk featuring the signature Medusa head print
in a subtle tone-on-tone pattern, was first worn to his aunt’s wedding in the parking lot of Steiny’s

rotation.
A crumpled, pizza-stained napkin from Chuck E. Cheese’s that contains Barney’s very first attempt
at a pick-up line. While the entirety of the line has been lost to time, still visible are the first two
words scribbled in barely legible purple crayon: “Nice jellies…” Barney’s first kiss is rumored to
have happened four minutes later in the arcade behind Tehkan World Cup so, yeah… it worked.
This shooting draft of “The Karate Kid” was autographed by director John G. Avildsen and star
William Zabka and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Loretta Stinson, the Postmaster
General and sadly once again, William Zabka.
This cyan-colored plastic wrapper was part of Trojan’s Magnum XL line of condoms. In various
interviews Barney has described it as “a bit snug.” Because his penis is enormous.
