Last Saturday the New York Mets popped some long-awaited bottles after they clinched their division in Cincinnati. 

Corks were popped and Freixenet sparkling wine was poured over heads and sprayed on fans. 

Now, both are for sale — because in spite of the wins, the team could still use the money. 

"Do not miss the opportunity to own this unique piece of Mets memorabilia," the team writes on their auction page, which opened Thursday afternoon.

A bottle goes for $100, while the cork is only $15. There's no deal if you buy them together.

It retails (with actual alcohol inside) for less than $20.

The Mets also can't promise that the highest bidder will get exactly what is pictured, with some bottles coming with more wear and tear from celebrating than others. 

The champagne pictured, technically a sparkling wine since it comes from Spain, retails for about $12.
