We did the authentification for this one right here in the shop. Emma
almost lost her lunch, but we’re talking the real banana on this one.
Bozo’s Nose (in its entirety) mounted in an antique shadow box with a
lacey white hanky containing assorted detritus from the nasal passages
of Emperah Geoge Dubyah Bush. A Texas two-step if theyah evah was one! Won't last long, cash purchase only.

On an idle afternoon Emma & I thought we'd put the old arsenic theory to the test. So was Boney poisoned? It's all locked in the hair, so find out for yourself! And we've thrown Boots Wellington in for good measure too. Great value. ... More

Dear Valued Customers,
What a year!
First off, let me say that I have never seen such a high level of
interest and activity in the ever-expanding world of necrobilia.
Declining faith in paper assets has given birth to a whole new
generation of speculators and serious collectors alike, investors and
fans who come to appreciate necrobilia as both a store of value, and as
the source of countless hours of pleasure: the pleasure of being just a
fingernail away from immortality.
But even the most iconic necrobilia require deft authentication in a market flooded
with kitschy counterfeits and cheap clones. To address these legitimate
concerns, I am happy to announce the formation of Walter Sculley
Forensic AssociatesTM, under the skilled management of my longtime
assistant, Emma Lee, dedicated to assuring that you receive real
parts for real prices. My reputation, and my twenty years of experience,
will be behind every vacuum bag we seal.
When you leave our shop, you will have my personal guarantee: you will
know precisely with whom you are leaving. At WSFA, the integrity of your
precious bits and pieces is our only concern. That’s it for now -- be
sure to check the sidebars for updated info on ‘what’s hot and what’s
not.’
Until the next time, your faithful servant in the nether regions of celebrity
culture,
Walter R. Sculley

In the red hot category of Dead Revolutionaries, you won’t want to pass on spongy gray matter from these three members of the notorious Baader-Meinhof gang. It appears the brains have gone missing from the German Lab where they were undergoing neuro pathological evaluation. Hmm, I wonder where they could be?

Just in! Clippings from the mustache of Saddam Hussein surrounded by
clumps of navel fluff harvested from the bellys of the Spice Girls by a
daring aesthetician. Encased in a tasteful Lucite display. Very rare,
and priced accordingly.

We just received another gallon of Evita blood from a private collector
and longtime associate of ours in Argentina, a former mover and shaker
who has fallen on hard times, now forced to liquidate his substantial
holdings. We will convey this precious fluid to slides and vials in
plenty of time for the Holidays --- the perfect stocking stuffers!)
Elvis Hair continues to whip the market into a frenzy. This clump just sold
for a fast 100K to a man who now thinks he has everything. Walter
Sculley Forensic Associates was not able to run a check on the pricey
clump, so as far as we now, it may be the King’s true grass. But buyer
beware: if I were to make wigs from all the E-hair that has entered my
shop over the last decade, I'd be able to dress the heads of Mount
Rushmore.

To all you new collectors, I urge you to explore the full range of
available offerings, and not become overly concentrated in any one
category or name. Diversification will be critical to your long-term
success. There is no better commodity to buy and hold than celebrity
necrobilia, but history is fickle, and today’s Eminem may be tomorrow’s
artist formerly known as whoever the heck that was.
When in doubt, stick with the Icons --- once a name has achieved Iconic
status, he or she is far more difficult to obliterate. Erase Marilyn?
Che? Jackie O.? Lady Di? No way. These are blue chips today, and will be
blue chips tomorrow. You will pay a healthy premium, but you will be
able to sleep at night, with the ‘right stuff’ under your roof.
Here’s my Big-Five-Formula Fresh-Face List. Harris and Lovelace are jostling at the top, but Harris wins by a hair’s breadth (literally) with the help, no doubt, of the wretched Harry Potter. Lee Harvey Oswald’s younger brother provides some new blood for the perennial JFK industry and so I've put Mr. Oswald - grudgingly - at No. 6.
