That time Luis Gonzalez’s used gum was sold for $10k

A bag of air supposedly taken from Kobe Bryant’s last game has become the subject of a lot of internet hype this week.

The bag of air reached $15,000 in bidding before it was removed by its owner. This stands out as one of the strangest pieces of memorabilia ever sold.

No piece of memorabilia, however, in the history of history is weirder than this one: A used piece of chewing gum, chewed by World Series hero Luis Gonzalez.

A collector by the name of Jason Gabbert had Gonzalez chew a piece of gum, which was eventually spat and sealed in 2002.
