Some people say the greatest pop culture collection around is going up on the auction block.  The collection contians hundreds of items...from Hollywood props and costumes to Lee Harvey Oswald's toe tag to Andy Warhol's paint brush.  For the right price...you can own Whoville, Indiana Jones' whip, Jack Ruby's gun or even Houdini's Straight Jacket. 

The Pugliese Pop Culture Collection may well be the finest collection focusing on 20th Century pop culture ever privately assembled. Approximately eight hundred and fifty of the most extraordinary objects imaginable from the worlds of motion pictures, popular music, magic, television and politics were gathered over several decades by Anthony Pugliese, a man who might well be described as a true visionary.

Check out some of these amazing items that go on sale next weekend at the Maloof's Palm Casino in Las Vegas.
