Chew on this: Ty Cobb's dentures sell for $18K via SCP
Baseball Hall of Famer Ty Cobb was known for doing some talking with his cleats on the field -- maybe his bat, too -- but the headline-generating piece of sports memorabilia auctioned this weekend came from the years after his legendary career.
The Georgia Peach's dentures -- yes, his false teeth -- were sold by Laguna Niguel, Calif.-based SCP Auctions on Saturday and a dozen bidders ran up the price on these legendary chompers and an original brass holder.
The final cost? A cool $18,840 after an opening bid of just $5,000.
They have a little more history to them, too, with details also coming with their documents included in the auction.
