While Peter Eastgate’s 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event bracelet, which had been up for auction on eBay, sold for $147,500 after 116 bids, another former bracelet winner’s trophy has made its way to the auction block.
On Sunday, an eBay auction started for the 1999 WSOP William Hill Promotional Code bracelet won by Paul “Eskimo” Clark in a $1,500 Razz event. The bracelet is just one of three that the veteran poker player has earned, but as it appears from the auction information board, Clark is not the one who is selling the priceless token. A quick look at the seller, “anarcnub,” shows that the person or organization putting the bracelet up for auction is situated in Ireland, meaning that William Hill Poker Download Clark, who calls Las Vegas home, may have given up the bracelet to someone else already.
The 1999 bracelet is unlike the present bracelet, it is not diamond encrusted. Before, the bracelets were simply carved with the words “World Series of Poker” and the year. The bracelet is 117.1 grams of gold, which by current standards of roughly $44.20 per gram would suggest its melted down price would come to somewhat over $5,175.
