Last hot dog sold at the last Montreal Expos game
Number of bids: 142
Amount it sold for: $2,142
It’s just your basic hot dog, but it also represents the end of an era, at least for one die-hard Montreal Expos fan. Supposedly, it is the last $1 wiener sold at the teams’ very last baseball game. Finally, the Expos made some money. But this is a case of too little, too late.
Grilled cheese with Virgin Mary
Number of bids: Unknown (viewed by over 1.7 million people)
Amount it sold for: $28,000
It’s a basic grilled cheese sandwich with one major difference: it has an image of the Virgin Mary on it. But what’s truly amazing about this item is that it’s 10 years old and there’s no sign of mold! GoldenPalace.com bought it because of — you guessed it — Americana. However, the woman who sold it really did believe that it was a blessed sandwich.
Chip shaped like a boot
Number of bids: 90
Amount it sold for: $1,230
It didn’t come out of a Cracker Jack box, but it may as well have. Picked from a Lay’s Salt and Vinegar flavor potato chip bag, it’s a chip shaped like a boot. That’s pretty cool. Personally, I was just into chips for the taste, but now that I know that there’s money in those bags, well, there isn’t a second to lose.
Britney Spears’ chewed gum
Number of bids: Unknown (but over 10,000 people viewed it)
Amount it sold for: $263
There’s no word on the type of gum or flavor, but we do know that it was retrieved after Britney spit it out outside a London hotel. In some ways, this is the most troubling item. She’s hot, no doubt, but who would want her used gum? If that’s you, do me a favor and stay away from both Britney and me.
