Grave Sale: Personal Effects

February 4, 2007 RSS Feed Print

Auctions commonly follow death, but it's rare—we hope—that parts of the deceased are bid away along with their personal effects. That will be the case at the next online auction from our friends at Alexander Autographs, the big trafficker in political and celeb mementos. The February 24 and 25 alexautographs.com sale will offer some especially grim relics: seven gold-filled molars from Greek shipping tycoon and Jackie O husband Aristotle Onassis and two swatches, one bloodstained, from the limo JFK was riding in when he was shot. "Weird and chilling," says Alexander's Bill Panagopulos.
