That's right. Ty Cobb's teeth... purchased for $7,475 at Sotheby's 1999 auction of the Barry Halper collection. Cobb's teeth were even on display at the Hall of Fame for a while!

Ty Cobb's teeth...fairly certain those originated from Al Stump, no? If so...not his dentures.

The silliest thing I ever saw goes back at least fifteen years. A pack of Duracell alkaline batteries signed by Al Kaline. Wait--it gets more ludicrous. After having the pack signed, the original collector ran out of batteries and opened the pack, replacing the fresh Duracells with the dead ones before taping the package back up and offering on eBay for $7.99.

I'd take Cobb's "teeth" over ANY modern graded rookie card....
