NICK EICHER, HOST: Well, if you are a history buff, here’s your chance to bid on a unique piece of history.
James Hyslop with Christie’s auction house in Manhattan says it’s truly one of a kind.
HYSLOP: Special doesn’t even begin to describe him.
He has a nickname: “Stan.”
A long time ago, he weighed at least 7 tons and his bite could have crushed a car.
HYSLOP: What we have coming up for sale on Oct. 6th is the best T-Rex to come to auction in nearly a generation.
Stan is one of the most complete and most studied T-Rex skeletons on the planet.
Christie’s expects the apex predator to fetch 6-to-8 million-dollars. So if that’s not too rich for you, you also need to know he’s 37 feet long. Meaning, you may have to clear out the garage and knock out a wall.
Or just have Stan do it for you.
It’s The World and Everything in It.
