HOLLYWOOD, Fla. The grilled cheese sandwich reputed to bear image of the Virgin Mary was sold on eBay.
The online casino goldenpalace.com said it placed the winning bid of $28,000 for the half-sandwich with a bite taken out of it. A spokesman for the casino told The Miami Herald the sandwich is a part of pop culture and that the casino knew right away that it wanted to purchase it.
The online auction site initially pulled the sale, saying it didn't post joke items.
The page was restored after the company was convinced that the seller intended to make good on the deal.

I think it is crazy. Why would you buy a piece of bread that would mold within days. It is like a disinigrating, sp?, purchase.
