Posted By: <b>davidcycle</b><p>I don't know if I'd call it creepy, but an auction house recently sold the <br />John Lennon record album Mark Chapman had Lennon autograph before he killed <br />Lennon. The record had the fingerprints on it and was used as evidence in <br />the trial.<br /><br />What I'd call creepy was when Lelands (of course) had a John Wayne Gacy <br />painting signed by baseball stars plus Richard Nixon. It is assumed the <br />autographers were unaware of the artist's identity.<br /><br />As far as eerie goes, the watch Knute Rockne wore when he died in a plane <br />crash was auctioned by Mastro. The time on the face was stopped at the <br />moment of impact.

Posted By: <b>brian</b><p>the Rockne watch reminds of when Heritage sold the watch Buddy Holly was wearing in his fatal plane crash and I think it also had stopped at time of impact.

Posted By: <b>Andrew S.</b><p>Instead of game-used memorabilia, next they'll probably come out with assassination-used memorabilia cards randomly inserted in packs, like a swatch from John Wilkes Booth's suit worn on the infamous night at Ford's Theatre.

Posted By: <b>Anthony</b><p>Lelands had pieces of Roberto Clemente's plane, I thought that was both creepy and tacky. I seem to recall they had a KKK outfit as well, although can't be positive. They've had a few items over the years that have sunk considerably below the line of good taste, IMO.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Wasn't someone selling pieces of Thurman Munson's plane not too long ago? All of that wreckage stuff is a little creepy to me if the family is still alive and it's still fresh in the memories of lots of people...I don't think wreckage from the USS Monitor would really bother me that much if it ever went to auction.<br /><br />Hair really creeps me out though and I can't believe there are people out there that collect it, but hey whatever floats your boat. What I really want to know is how does it get "authenticated"?

Posted By: <b>davidcycle</b><p>Agreed that Leland's has some off-color items, but it was a different auction houe that auctioned the KKK stuff.

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>More Disgusting than creepy, but about 7 years ago someone was selling on ebay the removed pieces of tissue from a certain pornstars labia reduction surgery. If I recall the auction got a lot of bids, although I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would bid.
