For many poker players, Tom McEvoy holds a special place in poker history. In 1983 the then 38-year-old became the first person to win the World Series of Poker Main Event after winning his way in a satellite. Now it seems he’s selling off the bracelet he earned for that victory and a number of other pieces of memorabilia.

At an eBay listing posted last week, poker fans can purchase a package that includes the bracelet, 3 of McEvoy’s books “autographed and dedicated upon request”, two Team PokerStars Pro patches, a WSOP baseball, and a one-hour private poker lesson from McEvoy himself.

The three books included in the auction (according to images provided by the seller) are How to Win Poker Tournaments, The Championship Table at the World Series of Poker, and Championship Satellite Strategy. McEvoy has authored or co-authored 16 poker strategy books over the course of his career.

McEvoy has lifetime earnings of $3,024,847 and he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2013 alongside fellow Main Event winner Scotty Nguyen.

The asking price for the package is $15,000. The seller, “ronniescollegefund”, is currently offering a 10% discount. The listing expires January 18 at Noon ET.
The listing is one of eight poker-related auctions currently listed by the same seller. The other seven consist of Team PokerStars gear including a hockey jersey, patches and luggage.

McEvoy’s bracelet is hardly the first to show up for sale on eBay. Brad Daugherty, Matt Keikoan, TJ Cloutier, Eskimo Clark and Dutch Boyd have all sold or attempted to sell their bracelets on eBay.

The most famous might be that of 2008 WSOP Main Event winner Peter Eastgate. In 2010, Eastgate listed his bracelet for sale with the proceeds of the sale going to UNICEF and it eventually sold for $147,000.

Jamie Gold’s 2007 WSOP Main Event bracelet was sold by Heritage Auctions in 2013 for just over $65,000.

Assuming McEvoy isn't a winning player anymore -- he's selling his poker bracelet after all -- I don't see why anyone would want 1 hour of private poker lessons from him.

I remember one of the first times I ever logged on Pokerstars back in mid 2005 I watched him play the Sunday Million winner heads up and thought how amazing it was to get to rail a main event winner. I thought he was basically a poker god! How times have changed..... LMAO!!!

Genginho: lose today 100 dollar only because of fishs they called and had luck on river
