CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. | Southeast Missouri artist and dog lover Rochelle Steffen was hoping to raise $100 when she put chewed-up Michael Vick trading cards on eBay.

Instead, the 31-year-old Cape Girardeau woman’s auction has gained international attention and through this morning, the bid stood at $6,400. Bidding closes Wednesday morning.

“I am absolutely in love with this worldwide response,” Steffen said.

The 22 cards were chewed on by Steffen’s Weimaraner Monte, and her Great Dane puppy, Roxie.

At first, the ad said proceeds would be donated to the humane society of the bidder’s choice. But after eBay yanked the sale because it broke the site’s rule on charity auction, Steffen reposted it saying she’d do “very good” things with the money.

1. ouch

wouldn't it be better to leave the cards alone, and let someone pay even more for a pristine version ( and then chew it themselves) ?
