The city may be giving San Francisco's best-known tamale purveyor a hard time, but the Son of Man has apparently made a miraculous pop-up appearance to show the world his love in the husk of a tamale.

Earlier this month, while heating up some corn-wrapped tamales for dinner, eBay seller mattrick_subtext discovered this "Unexplained. MUST SEE!" phenomenon. It's like the Shroud of Turin, except it was holding in a divine combination of masa and cheese.

In order to properly preserve the priceless artifact, which is currently going for the low-low price of $10, the owner wiped the husk clean, let it dry for 24 hours and then sealed it in an airtight ziplock bag. No word yet on whether potential bidders will have to compete with the Vatican to secure the item, but there are still eight days left for the Pope to get in on the auction.
