At an auction house in Massachusetts, some are even bidding on their hair. Boston-based RR Auction is selling nearly 300 historic items related to the presidency, ranging from locks of George and Martha Washington's hair to John F. Kennedy's Harvard sweater. "Some of the most valuable presidential artifacts interestingly are presidential hair," Livingston said. The intimate portrait is "one of only three known specimens" of that size and pose, RR Auction said in the release. All items were authenticated by experts, with many coming with letters of authenticity for additional fees, according to RR Auction.
