A one-of-a-kind collection of pop culture memorabilia is about to hit the auction block in Las Vegas. The collection includes important items from movies, music, television, and other significant historical items. The event is billed as the best pop culture collection ever assembled.

The collection of 850 lots was pieced together over the past 25 years by South Florida property developer Anthony Pugliese. The eclectic collection includes items ranging from Liberace’s Mink coat to Houdini’s straight jacket [pictured], including the Gun used by Jack Ruby to kill Lee Harvey Oswald. You can view some of the collection here.

The collection is estimated to fetch more than $5 million when it goes to auction at The Palms Resort and Casino on March 15 and 16.

Don’t miss your chance to own an important piece of Pop Culture history. I personally have my eye on “Super” Dave Osborne’s jumpsuit.

Here’s a great walk down memory lane. The history of Mario power-ups throughout the years. It’s missing a few newer ones, but it is still cool. Brings back memories, doesn’t it? You know it does, though you pretend you’re not geeky.

You know damn well you want a poster like this one on your wall. Over your bed, where your 1-Up mushroom pillows sit, just above your Mario sheets. Soon, your mom will knock on the door and enter, asking you why you still live under her roof for the past 30 years. You will just shrug, and flip through your comic book.

Ahhh. That’s the life. I envy you and your cheesy-puffs stained hands.

Since you are alone in your room again and since there ain’t no girl coming over, be sure to check out the video after the jump. It shows the evolution of Mario, from Donkey Kong to Super Mario Galaxy. And it’s set to the Zelda theme.
