Fans of 'Lost' will remember the Dharma Initiative beer consumed by Sawyer on the hit TV show.
Now super fans can have a piece of TV history by bidding for three cans of Dharma Initiative beer. The cans were found on the show by the survivors of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 after it crashed onto a seemingly deserted island. Two of the cans seem to be in pretty rough shape and are bent, stained and sort of rusty. The third can appears to be in better shape but has been opened, as if by one of the characters on the show for a well-deserved drink.
The cans are being sold out of Calabasas, California by an unknown seller. The seller confirms that these pieces are authentic props from the show which makes them super valuable for fans of Lost.
