Back the 80's a past Mr. O sold one of his Sandow Trophies due to financial hardship,
Who was it?
Who owns it?
Whats its value today?
Did he just own one?

How much would a Sandow go for on ebay or at auction?

When hard times hit a few years ago tennis great Bjorn Borg tried to sell a few of his Wimbledon trophies and tennis rackets...

They can't be sold now but once or twice some old Oscar statuettes were sold at auction and snagged a million dollars.

It would depend - if it's one of Arnie's it would fetch a much higher price cause of his celebrity status. But otherwise, I'd say anywhere between $5000 - $20,000 or maybe even a bit higher - purely guessing there.

Not quite as much as Nasser's used underwear.

much closer here.

I'd also say it won't get a grand. It's not an Oscar, after all.
