Over the years, I've written about the weird items that have come up for sale: Bill Veeck's Leg, Luis Gonzalez' gum, Thurman Munson's pilot's license. Well, put this in the category of Joe Horn's cell phone, which was purchased by a Saints fan at auction.
Some fan is going to have the chance to buy the sharpie that Terrell Owens took out of his sock in his unique touchdown celebration on Monday Night Football five years ago. We've learned Lelands.com will be auctioning off that Sharpie in its November auction.

"This was like a gift from god," a Sharpie brand manager told me after the game. Joyce Julius & Associates, a sponsorship evaluation firm, said the exposure to Sharpie was worth $500,000 to brand.
Sharpie subsequently did a charity/endorsement deal with Owens. If you're interested in bidding, check out Lelands.com this week.
