Fans who've always longed for autographed photos or actual set pieces from the CSI shows will have an opportunity to obtain the memorabilia when CBS auctions off the items this month to support the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

SouthFlorida.com reports that the auction will run on eBay from September 8-26th. CBS will auction off a variety of items from their hit shows, including CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, Survivor: All-Stars and Big Brother.

CBS Vice President of Marketing and Communications George Schweitzer expects fans will jump at the opportunity to get their hands on a piece of their favorite show. "People have a great affinity for these shows," he said. "People love their reality shows. People love CSI. Now they can have a part of these shows while celebrating the new season."

Items vary in range, from autographed photos from the CSI stars to a ticket to the 100th episode party for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. "We looked for items at all different levels," Schweitzer said. "Some are priceless and some are attainable."

Kate Carr, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation president and CEO is thrilled to be working with CBS on the project. "We are simply thrilled to be the beneficiary of CBS' one-of-a-kind auction and help kick off their exciting fall lineup," she said.
