A hair lock snipped from Ernesto “Che” Guevara before his
burial in 1967 sells for $100,000 at auction to a Houston-area
bookstore owner who called the Marxist “one of the greatest
revolutionaries of the 20th century.”

Great? well lets just say we disagree on the greatness of Che.

He must be rolling over in his grave at all the capitalism he created.

Thank God his is a failed Revolution. That hair looks just like the lock of hair Britney was selling on Ebay.

DALLAS - A hair lock snipped from Ernesto “Che” Guevara before his burial in 1967 sold for $100,000 at auction Thursday to a Houston-area bookstore owner who called the Marxist “one of the greatest revolutionaries of the 20th century.”

Bill Butler, 61, won the 3-inch tress clipped from Guevara’s mane after placing the only bid, which matched the reserve price.

Butler, who bid over the phone, said he was a collector of 1960s items and that the hair lock would fit in well.
