Interesting. A 1/4" square? That is tiny!

As much as I love TGH TV series and collect certain kinds of merchandise based on it, I could not imagine paying for a screen-used swatch from Lee's suspenders. That's getting kind of strange.

I'd never pay for a 1/4" piece of something like that. I remember when one of the hotels in New York cut up the bed sheets the Beatles slept on into 1" pieces and sold them. Nope.

I've found that end of celebrity collectibles often connected to those who wish to have a "personal" connection or "relationship" to the celebrity, almost in a creepy, possessive way.
