A huge piece of the Green Monster covering from the Boylston Street (Boston) store has appeared for auction on eBay, with the proceeds going to a local charity. The anonymous seller notes the exclusive nature of the 3-foot by 8-foot section of the green material that covered the glass façade before the store opened on May 15th, saying it was, “was lovingly rescued from the dumpster…carefully pulled apart from it’s sticky self, and backed on light paper.” The value of the piece is enhanced by the inclusion of the right half of the distinctive white Apple logo printed on the piece. Bidding started at $50, and the winning bidder’s money will go to the charity boston2portland, an annual bike ride to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research. A set of photos on eBay shows the actual piece being removed from the storefront. [Top bid = $500]
