The otherwise nondescript white tube sock remains mounted to its original backing from its Cooperstown display that centers the dark splotches of blood for viewing, a Rorschach test that reads as “bliss” to millions of New England baseball fans. Check the game tape and you’ll recognize the patterns, if you haven’t already committed them to memory.

From the auction page for Curt Schilling’s bloody sock, for which the current bid is $60,000, with four days of bidding to go.

These collectibles auctioneers certainly know how to whip up the bids.
