Thanks, Brian for your insight and background on this specialized area of collecting. Can you tell how you obtained the hair of Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II? Would someone typically ask a celebrity for this in person? Would that be deemed rude or unusual?

Are celebrity hair samples ever collected off the apron or floor of the salon? Do celebreties' stylists/barbers often keep the cut samples and subsequently sell them? Or is this something that should be done with the celebreties' blessing?

This is interesting to me... the reason I made the comment about "fabricated bidding" was that in 20 years, I had never encountered another collector in this genre... My mistake, and sorry if that was an impulsive/ignorant comment.
