Auction raises money for wounded soldiers

Share

(Newser) – Fans of fictional mob boss Tony Soprano shelled out nearly $200,000 for the outfits he wore on his hit TV series, including a set of "blood-spattered" threads, reports E! Online. Top grossing was the suit and undershirt Tony wore when Uncle Junior shot him in season 6, which fetched $44,000. The money will go to the Wounded Warriors charity for soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The blood-spattered outfit Tony Soprano wore in the season six opener sold for $43,750.
