Buttoned down, at a $2,150 starting price
In the category of "that's a hell-of-a-lot-of money," the shirt JFK wore to his inauguration on Jan. 20, 1961, just went up for auction on eBay - for a cool starting price of $2,150. The nine-day live auction is expected to bring in thousands - with 10 percent going to the Special Olympics - as this is one of the few remaining Kennedy piece still available in private collections.
The white button-down shirt was custom-made in London for Kennedy, who was probably the most fashionable man to have lived in the White House - known to have changed clothes as often as fives times a day. The shirt is still missing a button that popped off nearly 50 years ago.
