RICHMOND, Va. - Notes that suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick left behind after apologizing for his role in a dogfighting operation drew a top final bid of $10,200 in an online auction, the Humane Society of the United States said.

The Humane Society said the top bidder was comedian and TV writer Carol Leifer, who said in a release that she already was a Humane Society member and was motivated to make the winning bid by knowing the proceeds will go to the animal rights group.

Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, said the group will put “every cent of this $10,200 towards antidogfighting efforts.”

The bidding was brisk once the notes were put up for auction on eBay on Tuesday, even though there is no verification that the notes were actually used by Vick.

Billy Martin, one of Vick’s attorneys, said through a spokesman the notes were not written by Vick. The spokesman would not say whether an adviser or attorney wrote them.

The Humane Society says an employee found the notes when he went to retrieve a microphone from the hotel podium where Vick made his first public comments shortly after pleading guilty to the dogfighting charge in Richmond, Va., on Aug. 27.

The numbered talking points were written on a slip of notepad paper with the logo of the Omni hotel, where Vick made his statement. The notes read:

At the bottom, there is also the statement, “Dogs have Suffered.”

On. Aug. 27, Vick said: “Dog fighting is a terrible thing and I do reject it.”

The Newport News, Va., native, who has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL, could face as much as five years in prison when he is sentenced Dec. 10 in Richmond.

The sale of the notes is one of many unorthodox auctions of Vick-related items since the details of the dogfighting operation sparked widespread outrage.

Two days after he pleaded guilty, Laura Norton-Dye of Cape Girardeau, Mo., paid $7,400 for 22 football cards of the football player that had been chewed and slobbered on by dogs belonging to Rochelle Steffen of Cape Girardeau. Steffen said she would donate all money to animal shelter of the buyer’s choice, also in their hometown.

After the sale, dozens of similar items were put up for auction.
