An Auction House That Isn’t Heritage Has An Auction Worth Paying Attention To

The Pugliese Pop Culture Collection is set to be auctioned off March 15-16 at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. “Big deal,” you say. “Heritage does this all the time.” It does, yes. But this particular auction has some serious nerd-alert items: Indiana Jones’ whip, Charlie Chaplin’s cane, Christopher Reeve’s Superman costume, John Lennon’s “Imagine” jacket, and tons more. The local hook (at least the first one we found)? A big batch of JFK-related stuff, including the gun Jack Ruby used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald. (Hat tip: Pop Candy.)

    As the aforementioned Heritage learned last month when they sold ‘Johnny Carson’s microphone’ only to learn it was just something someone had allegedly bought on eBay (and not from Carson mind you)…and Errol Flynn’s flask which the ’seller’ reportedly bought at a flea market… Jus sayin’; You might think about that before you charter a flight to Vegas to buy ‘Jack Ruby’s gun’ that ‘killed Oswald’. It could turn out to be a plain Jane concealed weapon seized from an irate used car sales guy from Frisco last week at House of Blues, threatening Erykah Badu when she went on two hours late.
