What was acquired at a cost of $ 3,000,000 but later auctioned for $ 13,000. (Depreciation, as such, is not a factor)

As nobody else has answered, I`ll have a pop at it.
As it`s priced in dollars, my quick witted brain tells me it must be American.  :D

Is it the original Superbowl Trophy ?

I realise it's a really obscure question but it was posed at a pub quiz locally:(.

If it will help the sport is professional boxing :)

Highlander, was it the publishing rights for Tyson's biography, which rapidly dropped in value after the case against him for alleged rape?

That is not the sort of question that you might expect in a pub quiz.
