Paul Fraser Collectibles’ Top 10 strangest-ever collectibles

#9 Neil Armstrong’s hairdresser’s scissors and comb - £35,000

In May 2005, the first man to step on the moon’s surface became involved in a legal battle with his barber, Marx Sizemore, after finding that the barber was selling off cuts of his hair to memorabilia collectors.

Armstrong threatened legal action unless the hair was returned, or the sale proceeds donated to charity. 

The scissors & comb used by the barber, along with 25 strands of the astronaut’s hair, are currently for sale at Paul Fraser Collectibles priced at £35,000.

Armstrong stopped signing autographs for the public in 1994 after he found out that many forgeries were selling for large amounts of money. His autograph is now considered to be the most valuable autograph of any living person.
