5 of the Weirdest Collectables
5) Celebrity Hair
Who in the world would want to collect celebrity hair, not only would you find it extremely difficult to prove legit – what are you going to do with it? Hope they master the cloning process and make your own celebrity family? You may not believe it but people actually buy it from places such as eBay and spend hundreds of pounds on it.
4) Nazi Gear
This is probably a collection you wouldn’t show the girlfriend but there are more people collecting this than you think. It has been hard to come across a few pieces as eBay refuse to sell Nazi related items over the internet and Yahoo actually got sued over Hitler’s speech noted being auctioned. Perhaps this is what makes it so tempting?
3) Tattoos from Corpses
Another weird but true collectable, a true tattoo fanatic will not only cover their skin in head to toe with them but there is only so much you can do. The next step is to remove the skin from dead people and keep them in your collection. It’s a fact that only a few people actually collect this type of item – I wonder why.
2) Pickled Fetuses
Aside being 100% illegal there still was one man who decided it was a good idea, C.M. Christ had the largest collection of fetuses when his sanctuary was raided and he was arrested for illegal possession of human remains. Perhaps they were not too keen on him charging people to actually see them like it was some sort of attraction.
1) Genital Casts
Just when you thought they couldn’t get any weirder you had to check this one out, the famous collector of this merchandise (if you can call it that) was Cynthia Albritton who travelled the US making casts of famous people’s private areas.
