Best of Craigslist: Slice of Bulls Floor; Creepy Mannequin Torsos

The following items and postings were found on Craigslist for the Naperville, Lisle and Woodridge area. Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available.

Slice of Bulls Floor

This authenticated slice of the Chicago Stadium floor was in use from the late 1980’s to the early 1990’s, which means, yes, this was the regular stomping ground of His Airness himself, likely the very floor where the 1992 championship was won in Game 6! For that kind of memorabilia, $350 to this Lisle seller may well be a deal.

Creepy Mannequin Torsos

Okay, I realize that “creepy” is a judgment call on my part, but the “natural, dark wheat-colored toasty finish” on these disembodied torsos just makes them look to me like they’re being filmed through a grainy horror-movie filter. They’re $20 each out of Naperville, five dudes and one lady, and whether you use them for clothes modeling or bone-chilling terror is entirely up to you. 

ST:TNG Pinball Machine 

Pinball... the final frontier. These are the voyages of your little steel sphere. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new playfields, to seek out new bumpers and new multiballs, to boldly score what no one has scored before. ($6,375 out of Lisle—pricey, but hey, it’s Picard. 

$3,000 Les Paul Guitar

I don’t know much about guitars, but I know enough anecdotally to be able to say that Gibson Les Paul is a big name in axes, and this 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue (made 2009) in “like new” condition with mahogany body may well be worth its $2,995 price tag out of Lisle. Rock on!

Free Kittens? Free Kittens!

The mom of these six kittens was apparently a feral rescue, and she has an adorable litter who are being just flat-out given away—that’s right, given away! (Donations are accepted for a feral-cat Samaritan in Bartlett.) Apparently two of the cats are named Sad Cat and Yoda, another has six toes, and all are so darn adorable (oh yes you are, who’s a good kitty?)

Peyton Manning-Signed Football

As a Patriots fan, I’m obligated to make the case that Tom Brady is the greatest QB of his generation, not Peyton Manning. But let’s be fair: Peyton is a true terror, whether he’s slinging for the Colts or the Broncos, and his (certified) signature on a football is a priceless piece of NFL memorabilia. Which may be why this Naperville seller is only accepting trades. Got something good enough? (Doubt it… !)
