The money from the auction on TradeMe will go to the Starship Foundation, to raise funds for a play specialist for the Starship Radiology Department at the national children’s hospital. The auction closed on Wednesday night with a predictable late frenzy as buyers sought to get their hands on this special piece of memorabilia.
