One of my friends, knowing I'm a collector, had sent me this story a month ago. I completely forgot about it, until I saw it listed in the "News of the Weird" section of the San Diego Reader, a paper I write for in San Diego.

Tiny Tim, the crazy 60s' singer of "Tiptoe Thru the Tulips", who played the ukele and looked like a fatter Weird Al Yankovic...oh, and he also got married on the Tonight Show.

Anyway, a Texas accountant named Randy Reeves (I'm not sure how he let his name get out there...I would've done this on the down-low)...he's 50, and decided that it would be a wise investment to pay $1500 cash for a dentist's mold of the upper and lower teeth of Tiny Tim. The late singer had given these to the seller.

Now, I could understand someone possibly wanting the teeth of Mike Tyson, along with the ear lobe of Evander Holyfield. Or maybe something with Leon Spinks teeth (he's the boxer that not only beat Ali in the late 70s, but had the famous smile missing his two front teeth).

The San Diego Hall of Champions is proud of Ken Norton, who was a Marine that lived out here for a time. They have an X-ray of the broken jaw Ali suffered at Nortons hands (errr...fists). Now that's an item I wouldn't mind paying to own.
