It's amazing how much the Madonna looks like, well....Madonna. Or is it Michelle Pfieffer? Sharon Stone? No...wait. I've got it! It's that other Mary....

Mary Pickford.

Or maybe it's Clara Bow.

"I made this sandwich 10 years ago. When I took a bite out of it, I saw a face looking up at me; it was Virgin Mary starring (sic) back at me. I was in total shock; I would like to point out there is no mould or (disintegration)," the message said.

It says the sandwich, preserved in a plastic box, has brought "blessings" to its owner.

"I have won $US70,000 ($A90,591) dollars (total) on different occasions at the casino nearby my house; I can show the recipts (sic) to the high bidder," the message said.

But Duyser was out of luck on the reported $28,470 bid she got for the sandwich before eBay disqualified the auction.

"The last time this was listed, there were over 80,000 viewers," the message said, adding that the auction elicited many e-mails, some of them "downright cruel."

Hey, lady, a few cruel emails just test your faith in the virgin, eh? Get over it, and count latest your blessings. All thirty thousand of them - and counting.

P.S. Just a little heads up to prospective buyers....You have to ask yourself why Ms. Duyser wants to get rid of the virgin, if it's been bringing her all those blessings. Eh?
