Items Signed by Paul McCartney, Tom Cruise, and Senator John Kerry Among the Memorabilia to be Sold on Overstock.com Auctions!

SALT LAKE CITY - Overstock.com Auctions (auctions.overstock.com) announced today that it will be selling hundreds of unique pieces of entertainment memorabilia signed by famous musicians, actors, athletes, and even politicians. Among the rare items to be auctioned are guitars, albums, photos, and microphones autographed by stars such as Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Kurt Angle, and even 50 Cent. The charity auction event will benefit the Tommy Foundation, an organization that addresses the issues related to missing children and child safety. Hosting auctions for entertainment collectibles is not a new endeavor for Overstock Auctions. The online auction site has already hosted high profile charity events that included items such as Barry Bonds' 700th home run ball, VIP tickets to Jennifer Lopez's Chicago boutique opening and fashion show, and a one-of-a-kind Frederick's of Hollywood corset designed by Diane Lane. With such an array of collectibles on the site, Overstock.com Auctions is quickly becoming the one-stop marketplace for any major entertainment memorabilia collector. Wendi Lee, an Overstock.com Auctions customer claiming to be Celine Dion’s most loyal fan, is thrilled to have the opportunity to bid on the rare memorabilia, including Dion's signed microphone. "Autographed items from superstars like these are incredibly hard to come by!" She added, "With Christmas right around the corner, I plan on giving the items I win to family members and friends – they'll make perfect gifts!" Bidding will begin Friday evening and all auctions are set to close at 5pm (MST) on November 21st. However, due to Overstock's no sniping policy, bids placed in the final ten minutes of the auction end time, will be extended an additional 10 minutes so that the biggest fan is sure to get the desired autographed item. To bid on the hundreds of unique items and to support the Tommy Foundation.
