Heritage Auction Galleries to sell lock of Che Guevara’s hair

by PegNews wire

A lock of hair from the head of Argentinian revolutionary Che Guevara is going to be auctioned off by Heritage Auctions of Dallas, as part of a Che Guevara scrapbook that includes photos of his body, a map, messages between Che and his rebel gang, and a set of his fingerprints.

Heritage is acting on behalf of Gustavo Villoldo, 71, a former CIA operative and Cuban exile who says the lock of hair was snipped before Che was buried in 1967. Villoldo was involved in Guevara's capture, so he is probably a really really nice man. You can tell by his quote:

"It's time for me to put the past behind and pass these on to someone else," he says.
