Get a Piece of Paterno

When it comes to gifts for men, neckties have been the ol’ cliché standby since the dawn of time. But this particular necktie may be an exception.
It’s the one JoePa wore on the day of his 400th career win, and it’s one of several pieces of Paterno memorabilia being auctioned to benefit Penn State Public Broadcasting. Bidding begins next Wednesday, Feb. 9, and items will be awarded to the highest bidders at WPSU’s annual Connoisseur’s dinner the following Saturday night, Feb. 12.
Don’t expect this piece of Penn State history to come cheap. Last year, JoePa’s signature glasses sold for a whopping $9,000 to a Baltimore-area couple who called the iconic specs a “bargain.”
The starting bid on the autographed necktie? $1250.
To browse the items up for auction or to place a bid, check out WPSU’s website here.
