That's actually very cool. Interesting that the wallet only has the Maryland State Numismatic Association card, and no other organizations.

The 1941 ANA dues receipt ought to be neat.

It was a in real auction at Stack's a few years back. It might be findable in their archives - I cannot recall what it sold for.

I agree as well. I mean, what are we to see next, his drawers with poop stains? I really don't see what others see in owning this junk other than for money.

I think my dichotomy is that I feel it's okay to own something as long as it isn't "too" personal.
Out of everything in this eBay auction, I'd be fine owning one of his dollars or his credit card (things which the King of Coins used to purchase other items). Family pictures and mementos fall into the "creepy and too personal" category.
<< <i>The responses here are interesting and have caused me to reflect on what makes certain collectibles "creepy". These certainly border on that, as do things like ancient Roman earrings and rings. I can certainly appreciate how aesthetically pleasing they are, but to think that someone wore them and may have died with them in is disconcerting to me.

That being said mark my words as if Walter H. Breen's toenail clippings show up on Ebay tomorrow some winning bidder out there would be bouncing off the walls to have acquired them!
