Apollo 11 Flag Swatch Goes Unsold At L.A. Auction 120
According to an Associated Press report, a "strip of fabric shorn from the flag planted on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts pulled in a top bid of $60000 at a Los Angeles auction, but didn't meet a minimum price so it won't be sold." Another $35,000 would have nabbed it, but — caveat emptor — the strip of fabric under discussion is one that never went to the moon itself, but rather was snipped off before the rest of the flag was stuffed into a tube for the mission.

It seems this swatch of fabric hasn't done at least two notable things. It would be interesting to keep track of the things it doesn't do in the future, too.
