Definitely worth it, moosegay.  You can see pictures of the great eugen sandow clad only in a fig leaf, and some other skyclad strongmen as well.

That is actually good news...I have quite an extensive collection of Sandow's early Iron Age implements...I am trying to build as extensive a collection as possible!

Let me know if they have a Tommy Kono display and it would be great if you could photograph it.  Also any info on Peter George.

Tommy Kono - Great lifter - Great man - Great friend. ANd ditto for Dr George too!
