OSC is known for donating books/plates/etc for eBay auctions to help financially strapped ailing authors. It's common enough in the SF crowd. Odds are you just ran across the site/name of someone holding such an auction.
BTW -- CassiniDivision is one of those SFbook classics that every even semi-serious SFer is expected to have already read.

I asked Card in the post script of an email i was sending him tonight, and he mentioned that he gets a bunch of books sent to him for review, and that he gives them away if he doesn't read them, that he just forgot to take out the letter tucked inside.
It's still kind of errs on the creepy side in my opinion, that someone is trying to make money off of it from the fact that it was once in OSC's possession.

Not as creepy as somebody selling a celebrity's dirty socks, though.
*thinks*
Actually, I think my brother bought somebody's panties at an AIDS auction at a scifi con of some sort. Denise Crosby, I think. And they were unworn and autographed.
Yes, I do realise that being the least weird sibling in my family isn't really anything to brag about. Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004

I haven't read the Cassini Division, though I did get to see the pictures of the real one hot off the space probe, with a bunch of planetary science geeks. Hatrack makes me feel illiterate at times.

I remember seeing on MTV that some teenybopper paid a truckload of money for some french toast that was half eaten by NSync member Lance Bass. Now that's creepy.
