Did NGC Grade The Pocket Change Of Ted Williams?

Shows you that for everything, I mean everything there is someone willing to buy it.

That's more than a bit ridiculous. Anything to try and make a buck.

That is probably the estate of his trying to get money to pay for the freezing of his body. I hear they are going to try and revive him in the future. Ugh.His body was frozen in two parts. What will they think of next. Let him rest in peace. Good luck Ted.

Ted Williams Frozen In Two Pieces

December 20, 2002 / 10:30 AM / AP

Ted Williams was decapitated by surgeons at the cryonics company where his body is suspended in liquid nitrogen, and several samples of his DNA are missing, Sports Illustrated reported.

The magazine's report, appearing in the issue that hits newsstands Wednesday, is based on internal documents, e-mails, photographs and tape recordings supplied by a former employee of Alcor Life Extension Foundation.

After Williams died July 5, 2002, his body was taken by private jet to the company in Scottsdale, Ariz. There, Williams' body was separated from his head in a procedure called neuroseparation, according to the magazine.

The operation was completed and Williams' head and body were preserved separately. The head is stored in a steel can filled with liquid nitrogen. It has been shaved, drilled with holes and accidentally cracked 10 times, the magazine said. Williams' body stands upright in a 9-foot tall cylindrical steel tank, also filled with liquid nitrogen.

The procedure, approved by Williams' son, John Henry, and daughter, Claudia, carries a $136,000 bill. Alcor claims it is still owed $111,000.

Ah, what a country!

How did a tuna can... never mind, I do not want to know.

Looks like they finally sold one. 1949 S Lincoln Cent NGC Genuine (not graded)....$18.50 with 14 bids so there might be a few fans who collect items out there from Ted or sports/celebrity collectibles, certainly not collecting coins based on value... $111,000-$18.50 = $110,981.50 only to go!!
