I didnt follow the other 2 hair cards but I saw that one was @ $8k before it was pulled off ebay.

I wouldn't trust this at all. How the hell can someone prove this is one of his hairs?

I believe the card was expected to exceed 10K, but I haven't been able to find what it sold for if it did sell. I guess Ebay pulled the auction because it had a violation of their policy.

I can now say yes.

The link to the Topps post has the pics of the other 2 now and a new scan (small) of the latest hair w/o flash.

Hair collecting of historic figures is a real market - I'm sure Mike Navarro will chime in soon, as he is the resident expert on the topic....

What's next..Clinton's short and Curlys?

Selling locks of hair is legal on eBay. But they won't allow the sale of human remains, like bones and stuff like that. Shigley's grandson is supposed to have inherited a lock of George Washington's hair and most of the other founding fathers. Not sure if they will be sold on eBay or not, but Topps would probably bid on them if they ever came up for sale.

stevek · June 18, 2008 12:30PM

I can't believe a hair from a character played on a comedy show sold for that much?

Oh sorry, I thought it said George Jefferson, never mind.
