The world of collectibles is immensely broad and fascinating, ranging from historical prints from World War II to unique never-before-seen accessories from famous artists. However, there are those who seek to own much more “personal” items that tell intimate and meaningful stories.
Thousands of products, within hundreds of categories, are part of the vast catalog of collectibles that can be found on the Internet. From clothing worn by music legends such as Michael Jackson, to hats worn by Queen Elizabeth II. However, there are some rather more peculiar niches, such as the buying and selling of celebrity hair.
The latter category is a rather unique selection of collectibles and on the web you can find locks of hair from both living and deceased world celebrities.
Paul Fraser Collectibles
One prominent platform in this area is Paul Fraser Collectibles, where you can find locks of hair from the likes of Marilyn Monroe, the American actress and model whose story continues to touch many, decades after her passing.
Monroe, who was a symbol of the sexual revolution in the 1950s, was part of American pop culture.The story behind the artist and the moment in which this lock of hair was obtained, adds a very relevant and even memorable background. This lock of hair comes from the celebration of President John F. Kennedy's birthday, held in 1962 at Madison Square Garden. This event would become today the remembered milestone of Monroe singing “Happy Birthday Mr. President”, being recognized by millions worldwide.
The hair would have been saved by her stylist Robert Champion, who would have cut and arranged Monroe's hair just moments before the expected event.The lock is the collectible in this category, with the highest bid from Paul Fraser Collectibles, surpassing by thousands of dollars the hair of other artists such as Harrison Ford or Justin Bieber.
While some may classify this category of collectibles as somewhat odd, many others consider this to be unique, especially considering that these types of items literally “were a part” of these people.
Where can you buy this?
All items that can be purchased at Paul Fraser Collectibles, are delivered with certificates of authenticity, and the value of Marilyn Monroe's hair is just over $324,000 and it can be delivered worldwide.
