LUCILLE'S DEBUT ... AND MORE
The Item: Negan -- aka Jeffrey Dean Morgan -- signature ensemble and action "Lucille" bat from Season 7 of The Walking Dead (AMC 2010-2022). Certified via AMC and Heritage. 
The Price: $10,000 opening bid (ends Oct. 31)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: According to Heritage, the full lot here includes a leather jacket, an off-white T-shirt with staining, a pair of gray pants with a "'Negan Hero' bias label," a leather belt, a red bandana, a pair of leather boots, a right-hand leather glove and an "action version" of the famed "Lucille" baseball bat constructed of foam rubber that is "expertly painted and finished to appear as a lathed wood grain baseball bat with a black oval-shaped logo and blood stains." This comes from Season 7, Episode 1, "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be" and Heritage says "Negan's introduction marked one of the most-dramatic turning points in the series" with this scene's game of "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" with Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) and Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun). There's no estimate for how much this one will go for but the full package (Click image at left for a closer look) could be a headlining kind of item. For those who want a non-stunt Lucille, there are a few up for grabs in the overall event, which includes almost 900 listings.
