Most will keep them polished and they will live on the Mantlepiece probably with a large framed photograph of the runner carrying the torch). I find myself wondering just how many collectors of Olympic Memorabilias there are World Wide? My guess is that the number will be in excess of 10,000.Īlso many of the runners will not be selling theirs. The price of £199 is heavily subsidised by the Olympic Organisers(who of course are very heavily subsidised by the Taxpayer – You and Me).Īs there will be 8,000 runners that means 8,000 torches(although I would expect that there are a few “spares” so let us say 10,000 were made. From what I gather the Olympic Torches cost some £495 to manufacture.
