It's somewhat sad, but it doesn't sound like he's in financial trouble if you believe what he says in the article. The entire collection was listed as one lot for $5.7M last summer before it was pulled, so it doesn't appear he's under the gun to cash out.
"I'm selling my 'Miracle on Ice' collection to ensure a healthy financial future for my children and grandchildren," Craig said, according to a news release from the auction house. "I also plan to donate proceeds from the auction to charities and causes that are near and dear to my heart."

No. It's sad. Some things should just be yours. If Craig does not really need the money then it's still sad as he no longer values the memorabilia.
I'm sure he still values it. It just sounds like he values the financial security of his children and grandchildren more. He will always have the memories. If it's not sad to him, and it doesn't sound like it is, it's not up to us to make it sad for him.
I pretty sure the comments posted by me are mine and mine alone. Always have been and always will be. I understand that 5 mil is a lot of money. Still say it's sad that he's willing to give them up.
Iowa or Nebraska state track meet?Hell I have a gold medal from high school for state track meet and I wouldnt give that up...then again no one is offering me millions for it

Im all for him selling it....or anything that you don't want to keep for that matter. However, I sure as hell wouldnt call keeping a gold medal materialistic. Its a Gold Medal from the Olympic Games, not a Mazerati.A gold medal is just a "thing." Every single poster in this thread has hundreds or thousands of "things" that they never even look at and are just stored in a closet or drawer somewhere.
He's not giving up his spot on the team or the memories that he created, he's just relinquishing a physical object that's tied to that accomplishment.
Not everyone on the planet is as materialistic as some people, and thank God for that.
