One of the stranger lots that Martin Nolan, a co-founder of Julien’s Auctions, ever put on the block during his more than two decades in the auction business was a thin slice of cake served at the July 1981 wedding of Diana, Princess of Wales, to Prince Charles. It sold for $2,831.
That was in 2008. Today, Mr. Nolan estimates that it could fetch tens of thousands of dollars.
