Game Used Sharpie- Have we gone too far?

Re: Game Used Sharpie- Have we gone too far?

If the company that owns Sharpie was PR wise, they would bid huge money on that for free media coverage, then frame it and hang it up at their corporate headquarters.

In the world of bizarre sports collectibles that have all SOLD at auction:

Used Busch Stadium Urinal
Used McGwire Jock Strap
Used Shower Shoes
Used Luis Gonzalez Bubble Gum
Used Joe DiMaggio Player Hair (from Haircut)
Used Jeter sanitary Socks

We can probably add to the list, but like Byergo said Sharpie Company should be bidding on the TO Sharpie for PR purposes.

Here is a story on the $10,000 Gonzo "used" chewing gum:

I'm sure it won't be long and we will see some idiot trying to sell feces with DNA results supposedly extracted from a player. Yes, I think people go to far. Unfortunately to some it is all about money.

You don't want to know what I saw on a private tour of Barry Halper's house before the big sale of his collection. And no, it wasn't Ty Cobb's teeth (although I saw those too). Let's just say that The Mick sent Barry a gift from the hospital...

Should I put my Sharpie on eBay that AJ Pierzynski used to sign my Punch AJ t-shirt? NOT! That is crazy. I would have never thought a Sharpie.
