↵The Curse of the Bambino officially died in 2004 (and it’s zombie cousin was killed in 2007), which makes owning the ball that turned Bill Buckner’s legs into a croquet wicket 25 years ago totally acceptable for fans in Boston. The bidding starts at $1 million, so start emptying that trust fund.

↵↵For those who don’t have that kind of cash, no worries -- you have plenty of time to save up for the greasy bucket of Popeye’s Chicken and crushed Bud Light empties destined to hit eBay in 2036.
