File this under Weird News, but it is finance related so there you go: Madonna’s bra and Eric Clapton’s guitar attract investors.

This ties into people who’ve amassed mementos and paraphernalia, especially anything rock-and-roll related. Auctioneers say that “investors are exploring alternative markets as stocks decline, economies stall and banks sack workers.” The companies listed, Marquee Capital Ltd. and Anchorage Capital Partners Ltd., are based in London, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see American investment companies capitalizing on this trend.

Clearly, the next time some rocker tosses his sweaty T-shirt my way, I’ll be sure to fight tooth and nail to nab it.
