After Pope Francis’ death, several ads appeared on eBay with memorabilia of any kind. There are photographs, newspapers, cups, resin figurines, rosaries and coins. Someone dares more: an uente also puts a papaline for sale who (as it is described) seems to have belonged to the pontiff.
The mechanism is quite consolidated. As soon as a person who has marked our time, immediately, dies immediately Sales ads begin to appear on eBay With every possible memorabilia. We noticed it after the death of Silvio Berlusconi in 2023, when the Dr. Forza Italia cards. And of course we still find him today, with the death of Pope Francis.
Just search the key from Pope Francis and the “just put on sale” filter to find Hundreds of objects connected to the pontiff. We leave you a small review of the objects loaded on eBay in the last hours:
- A “Rare Rare Rare”: 65 euros

The case of L’Osservatore Romano
Among the articles that are most easily found on Ebay there is the copy of the Roman Observer with the news of the Death of Pope Francis. Usually on newsstands it is sold for 2 euros but the copy of April 21 is with prices ranging from 20 to 350 euros. Someone exaggerates and places it to 999 euros. But not only. There are also lazy speculators who they only resell the PDF: 3 euros.

The most expensive memories: the papaline and the signed photographs
However, the most expensive article for sale on Ebay exceeds many measures the cost of the Roman observer. In fact, a user managed to put on sale A papal for 39,000 euros. From what you write the papal it should have been used directly by Pope Francis. In the photographs there are no certificates of originality.
Among the most expensive articles there are also Two photographs with the signing of the Pope. This time the originality of the signature has been certified. Both, sealed in a plastic cover, are sold to figures over 20,000 euros.
