While bidding starts at a modest $500, the midriff-baring top could fetch five figures; collector Carlo De Santis had it authenticated and appraised for $20,000 to $25,000.

"It actually was a dress," he explained on the Netflix show "King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch" last year. "It was attached to, like, a skirt, and [Spears] cut it into a top and walked out with jeans and made it into a halter top."

De Santis received the "priceless" shirt from one of Spears' staffers while working as an "Extra" producer.

"I've been forced into things I didn't want to do and been humiliated. It's not my thing at this point," she wrote. "Now, if you got me a cute cameo on a fun TV show where I'm in and out in a day, that's one thing, but to act skeptical for eight hours straight while judging people on TV? Uh, no thank you."
