Various Other Strange Celebrity Memorabilia

The ultimate dream of many fans is to own a piece of their favorite celebrity. For example, there have also been sales of Justin Bieber hair clippings that have reached $40,668.

Similar to this, John Lennon once gave his housekeeper a tooth he had extracted and advised her to give it to her daughter as the ultimate (if odd) Beatles memento. An auction was eventually held for the infamous tooth, and a Canadian dentist won it for $31,200.

Having even a small portion of a celebrity’s body is sufficient for some fans.

In 2008, a fan paid thousands of dollars for a used facial tissue belonging to Scarlett Johansson.

The Lucy actress once decided to auction off a tissue showing signs of the illness to raise money for charity. The used tissue with Johansson’s signature was bought for $5,300 and then donated to USA Harvest.

However, some fans are content with just the gifts that have only made contact with their favorite celebrities.

Other known artifacts put up for auction, according to HuffPost, include Gary Coleman’s kid-sized Gap sweatpants, Justin Timberlake’s leftover breakfast, and an alleged pregnancy test that was found in Britney Spears’ hotel room waste basket.  

Whatever the item may be, if a celebrity discards it, someone out there (a diehard fan) will probably be willing to buy it.
