Captain Jack Sparrow on auction? We wish. For now, we can bid on something that Johnny Depp has literally yanked in and out his hands.

Stop gushing, I’m talking about gloves. You know that pitchblack gothicky pair of gloves Johnny Depp immortalized in Edward Scissorhands? It’s up for bidding at a Hollywood memorabilia fire sale and on the eBay Internet auction site. So fans, start lining up for free picks of movie betting. (Try Bodog movie betting props for some starting funds.)

As Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp is fast becoming director Gore Verbinski’s he-muse. When Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest grossed $55.8 million on its opening day, it broke several box office records. These would be largest opening day, largest single day gross, and largest Friday gross of all time.

Of course, Johnny Depp is still fetching as director Tim Burton’s long-running he-muse. The Edward Scissorhands black gloves will open at $7,000 at the Beverly Hills auction on July 28. From another Tim Burton movie, Michael Keaton’s Batman costume will start at $40,000. Darkly fans of dark fantasy should have a ball with their free picks in movie betting; may we come wearing our own costumes?

A bidding highlight is the original matte painting from the opening scene of the Wizard of Oz. (Waste no time.) Also open for bids are John Belushi’s two-piece suit in Blues Brothers ($25,000), Dan Akroyd’s jumpsuit from Ghostbusters ($8,000), and former US President Ronald Reagan’s Stetson hat ($3,000). (eBay, I’ll need to sit on that one.)
