UD relic card idea...

I'm always amazed at what people will bid on (and buy) on eBay

Here's something that could be broken up and embedded in UD cards.

    Q: I have a question, me being muslim, I find it very offensive that someone has used this "god" as a human figure, we take it very serious and we are very offended. We kindly ask that you remove this auction, also, your address is on here too. Apr-26-09

    A: I honor the message of the God of Abraham to spread the Word and to share accounts of redemption. The hand is a symbol of God in my life not a Divine image so no offense should be taken. God Bless...

    Looks like the Taliban want to clean-up EBAY.

    And, they make it clear that they KNOW where their prey lives.

    The story of "why" the item was removed may be even bigger
    than the listing was.

    'Hand of God' rock being sold on eBay
    Story Highlights
    Idaho man places "Hand of God" rock for sale on eBay

    Paul Grayhek says hand-like formation appeared in his backyard during Lent

    Winning bidder on eBay would get "exclusive rights" to rock

    By Faith Karimi

    CNN

    (CNN) -- A man in northern Idaho says he has seen a massive hand of God in his life, and he is willing to share it with the highest bidder.

    Paul Grayhek, 52, listed the rock formation he dubbed the "Hand of God Rock Wall" on the online auction Web site eBay. The highest bid was $250 early Sunday, with three days left to go in the auction.

    The hand-like formation, approximately 9 feet tall and 4 feet wide, appeared in Grayhek's backyard after a rockfall during Lent on March 8, he said.

    The Coeur d'Alene resident said he faced tough times after losing his job, and believed the rock was a sign.

    "I prayed between licking my wounds and looking for a job," he said. "We rarely get rockfalls and this formation is 20 feet from my house. It's definitely a symbol of the hand of God in my life."

    However, the winning bidder on eBay should not start clearing out his backyard. Grayhek is not planning to part with the formation.

    The buyer will "basically be buying the rights, complete and exclusive rights" to the rock, including literary and movie rights, according to Grayhek.

    Grayhek said he plans to use the money from the sale to pursue an unpaid internship in counseling when he graduates with a master's degree in social work in two years.

    "People think I'm some holier-than-thou person trying to get rich. I'm not," Grayhek said. "The purpose is to spread the story of God and eBay is just a vehicle."

    Given the horrible description of what you were bidding on I am not surprised it was pulled. I don't see how you can put a restriction on where or how the item can be displayed. If I buy you Mickey Mantle signed ball and I want to display it on my Satanic Alter you cannot stop me.
