Fans can buy a small slab of UNC history.

Pieces of the 2009 Final Four court, the same one UNC won the national title on, will go on sale at tarheelblue.com on Friday.

A 6x6 square costs $149; a 12x12 square is $225. Plus, 200 limited edition pieces, autographed by coach Roy Williams and several other members of the title team, will run you $499.

"What an outstanding memory to grab hold of from the Tar Heels’ victory in Detroit.”  Gary Sobba, general manager of Tar Heel Sports Properties, the multimedia rights holder of UNC athletics, said in a prepared statement.

Steiner Sports Memorabilia also plans to also craft everything from cuff links to keychains out of the wood to sell around the winter holidays, as well, said Pete Kelly of Steiner Sports.

The center jump circle -- about 600 feet of the 7,200 square foot court -- has been donated to the athletics department and will likely go on display in UNC's basketball museum.
