NBC Photo: Paul DrinkwaterThe celebrity collectible world is abuzz today with a unique item currently being offered on eBay: a tissue that star Scarlett Johansson used to blow her nose during an appearance on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
"To own some of Johansson's snot is a rare opportunity," stated Smithby's Auction House mucus expert Reginald Thurwax. "The fact that the boogers are utterly authentic makes the piece even more desirable."
The auction—at $2,125.00 with 64 bids at press time—is expected to draw the top mucus afficianados from around the world. "Things could get heated, believe me," revealed Thurwax. "This is a competitive bunch, and the idea of adding a crisp, four-point greenie, or perhaps a well-preserved globular brownie from a massively desirable star like Johansson is tantilizing. And if there's a nose hair mixed in as well, we could be looking at high six figures for these boogers. It's exciting, to say the least."
