For Boone, it appears no different. An autographed Boone ball is going for around $100 (when factoring shipping). That's 4-5x what you could have picked one up for at a a card show I attended in August. And 4x-5x more than what you could get it for in two months. Plaques commemorating his home run are on the market, with a Buy It Now option of $50. And, of course, no Curse of the Bambino collection is complete without a copy of Aaron Boone's 1991 high school yearbook, at only $20 but with a full six days to go.

(See all Aaron Boone-related items on eBay.)

In comparison to Boone, a ball autographed by Grady Little is at only $6.99 with a day left — possibly the amount of time Little has left as manager of the Red Sox. You can get your very own Cowboy Up poster for only $2 (with six days left). And if you're crass enough to wear things making fun of an event that drove an elderly man to tears of regret, you can sport a Pedro-Zimmer "Smackdown" t-shirt. (And then you can suck my dick and remember who won the series.)

No items come up for a search of "Dent + Boone," though entrepreneurs can do worse than to link those home runs in a poster. Tell what time it is (Curse Time!) with your very own Babe Ruth gold watch. And laugh your ass off at these phantom 2003 Red Sox World Series tickets. (Phantom tickets are a legitimate sports collectible, as teams must print them well in advance of previous game outcomes.)

You wouldn't have seen him the rest of the series, I promise you, because we would've put him in the hospital."
