But how much would you want a piece of history - if I won the Euromillions I'd give him 30k for that bit of victory..
I'd rather put the money in a piece of art, something that one could look at and get pleasure from. There is nothing on the lump of wood, other than a date, to say what it is. I'd just look at it and see a lump of wood regardless of what a piece of paper says.

If Murray's racket was the one he used to win Wimbledon it might be worth something, otherwise i cant see it hitting top price.
But even then what does that really mean. They use about half-a-dozen racquets in a match so which one is most valuable - the one used to hit the winning shot (assuming he did), the one used for the longest period in the match, the one used in the crucial tie break set etc.

50K for an old lump of wood from HMS Victory 
one can go down to the beach and see the water it sailed upon for nowt! Could also take some home in a bottle.
Whilst on the Victory guided tour a month back it is clear vast amounts of the boat have been replaced/repaired or amended beyond recognition. The adjoining museum has many gift items fashioned from old bits. Quite how you prove what came from where and when seems to be the issue...but £30k is bonkers unless it has a dent from Nelson collapsing onto it. one can go down to the beach and see the water it sailed upon for nowt! Could also take some home in a bottle. I like the format of the programme, and the chance to watch greed meet bigger greed. Liked the sofa drop tank too.
