Whatcha Sellin' Ellen Dog Tags

So remember those dog tags Ryan Reynolds wore in X-Men Origins: Wolverine? I finally remmebered to go back and see how much they sold for. Would you believe someone paid $2300.51 for dog tags?! Insane I tell ya, absolutely insane. And then Ryan says, "Hmm, I thought they would've gone for more." What?! He was also into comic books as a kid, so maybe he has a deeper appreciation for that sort of memorabilia than I do... What a nerd.

If you were a comic book geek,

how much would you pay for Wade Wilson's dog tags in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine?

Ryan, Elayna, and I went to see this in the theatre this weekend and IT. WAS. AWESOME. just like the other X-Men movies. (Parts, of course, could've been better but it was still a great film.)

I'm an Ellen junkie, I admit it; she's absolutely hilarious. Anyway, she's raising money for the Humane Society and is currently auctioning all sorts of stuff on eBay. 100% of each item's sale price goes to benefit animals in need. How great is that?! (Cheri, I'm sure you're pumped.) So she's been asking her celebrity guests to donate something to this cause. The other day, Ryan Reynolds was on the show and brought the dog tags his character wore in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I thought it was funny that he acknowledged stealing them from the set and at that moment in time, FOX would now realize it. So my point is this, how much is this movie memorabilia really worth? Well, the moment I heard they were on auction, I checked eBay and they were just over $1000. A few days later, at 76 bids, they're just over $2076. I'm really curious to know how much they sell for. I'll CHECK BACK LATER to see.


I know, I know. I'll get pics of Elayna up as soon as I put them on the computer.
