Get Your Tim Russert While You Still Can

This image was lost some time after publication.

We probably shouldn't be surprised to see a very brisk (and rather macabre) trade in Tim Russert memorabilia on eBay. Five days after his sudden death—and amid a non-stop stream of coverage about his passing—there's plenty of merch to choose from, including dozens of copies of the late Meet the Press host's book Big Russ and Wisdom of Our Fathers. Some of the pricier items up for sale:

A "rare 1960s publicity shot" of Russert (pictured), which can be yours for $102.
A Tim Russert bobblehead doll, which is going for $117.50.
An autographed copy Big Russ and Me, which has 16 bids and is up to $250 at the moment.
A letter on NBC stationary written by Russert on January 27th, 1997, which someone appears to be willing to pay $84 for.
A baseball with Russert's autograph, which is up to $79.99.

Not every bit of Russertana has found a taker: This copy of the Post from Saturday, which features Russert on the front page, is still unspoken for at 99 cents, believe it or not.
