Poker Chip Protector, featuring Lizzie Borden.

Oddest Lizzie eBay item yet

I guess there is a market for Poker Chip Protectors (whatever that means) — so much so a guy is selling them on eBay! For only $3.99 you too can own one.

From the sale’s description: “Adhered to side A is the infamous photo of accused axe killer Lizzie Borden. On side B are the words I CHOP with blood dripping over the handle and blade of a short axe. Lizzie was acquited and the crime never solved so many think she had the ultimate POKER FACE. So protect your cards from the muck and scare off any would-be callers with this one of a kind card protector.”

My muck needs protecting? And this thing will do that? Sounds like voodoo to me.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
