Bobby Fischer in 17 Boxes

Chess-related items belonging to former chess world champion Bobby Fischer are up for sale in an eBay auction, with bids starting at $15,000. How the collection ended up on eBay isn't entirely clear but Fischer's version is on his home page. The page is rather large so search for "Ellsworth", about halfway down.

I'd urge anyone interested in chess and with the necessary cash to buy the items and return them to Fischer.

Fischer is now a resident of Iceland, after a year-long detention in Japan.
