The poster, marked with what is understood to be one of the musician's last autographs, is heading for auction in the U.K. at the end of the month where it has been given an estimate of £60,000 to £120,000.

The C-3PO head was the top lot at the auction, which also saw the harpoon gun used by the actor Robert Shaw in the classic movie Jaws, accompanied by its original case, fetch 327,600 dollars.

O'Leary had the 1-of-1 numbered, PSA 10-graded card slab -- the first year Triple Logoman cards were produced -- inserted into a bespoke Tiffany's & Co. case, with "2.2 pounds of white gold," diamonds and rubies embedded, and affixed to a chain.

A 2013 Aaron Judge Bowman Chrome Draft Superfractor one-of-one signed card has sold via Fanatics Collect for $5.2 million, the most ever paid for a modern-day baseball card. The card eclipsed the previous record posted in 2020 -- $3.936 million for a 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Prospects Superfractor signed Mike Trout card, which was also one-of-a-kind and numbered "1/1."

This significant prop, accompanied by its original case, carries an estimate of $250,000 to $500,000 dollars. Also due to go under the hammer at Propstore auction house in Los Angeles next month is the Fenwick fishing rod with reel, used by Shaw's character, Quint, in his encounter with the ferocious shark.

A recently discovered 1909 Sweet Caporal T206 Honus Wagner card, which had been pulled from a then newly released tobacco pack and kept in the same family for over a century, has been sold via Goldin Auctions for $5.124 million (including buyer's premium). It's the third-most expensive T206 Wagner behind the copy purchased for $6.606 million in August 2021 and the copy sold privately for $7.25 million in August 2022.

The King of Collectibles has been collecting since his first trip to Fenway Park at age 12. "I'm 60. In my 48 years of collecting, I have never known of or seen - outside of the Metropolitan Museum of Art - a Honus Wagner card like this. Until now," Ken Goldin, star of Netflix's "King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch," tells me in a recent phone interview.

What's more rare than the first issue of Action Comics, the comic book that introduced the world to Superman? How about this: a copy of Superman's first comic book appearance which was once owned by an actor who almost (depending on how you feel about the film The Flash) played Superman on screen. The Man of Steel made his first appearance in the first issue of Action Comics; that issue, printed in 1938, is now a collectors' item.

that's the only way I'll ever get licked.

"Unquestionably. It won us our first championship. The other thing that speaks to me so much, probably more than any other piece of memorabilia I've ever seen is all the mud on it. I know John says it's blood, sweat and beer all over that jersey -- those are his words. "That jersey represents more than just a play and his MVP performance. It represents the grit of the franchise, the hard work, the Ho

During an interview with the French content creator Antton Racca, Niney was asked about the story of American actress Scarlett Johansson putting her used tissue up for sale and getting $5 300 (4,471) in 2008. On camera, Niney then blows his nose into a tissue - assuring viewers that he is in "very, very good health", drops it into a plastic bag and announces that he is putting it up for sale - with any proceeds going to "a really good charity".

The traditional museum experience, pausing in front of an object, and absorbing its history visually or by reading its description, has long shaped how collectors and others relate to cultural treasures. Yet, over the last few decades, digital technology has quietly rewritten many of those rules, changing not only how collections are exhibited but also how they are documented, preserved, and even inherited.

Proper Nike and MLB Authentic tagging are present along with a 2025 World Series patch on the upper left chest," their description reads.
