    $1500+ for a locker name tag

    I thought maybe it was made of solid gold. Nope, plastic. Are you kidding me?

    Anybody else bid on the 2006 WBC silver medal, sold by one of the Cuban players to a British dealer, the auction for which ended on eBay today?

    I put in a snipe, but got edged out. It went for $672.09.

      Andrew,

      There is another Japan locker tag currently at $1605, and a Japan jersey at $6010. The Japanese collectors always pay top dollar. Just check the bidders lists. I saw the title of your post, I thought the same thing.....is it solid gold?

      Scott (jetersbatboy), looks like you have your work cut out for you!! Good luck.

          I try to stay away from the MLB auctions, because of the Japanese bidders!! Those guys are nuts!! I was in a bidding war on a ball pitched to ichiro in the 7th inning of his 3000th hit game. I quiet at I think $750, not sure what it sold. It wasn't even signed!!! I'll take all the luck I can get!!! Thanks Mark

            I am watching the WBC Finals and it is in the 8th inning between Japan and Korea and Japan leads 3-2

            I love their hustle. Everyone hustles. They are all intense. They love the game. Reminds me of how it used to be when I was a kid.

                  Andrew,

                  I think you forgot chevorlet. These guys pay like the kids in the little league world series. Refreshing to see guys play for the love of the game and pride in their country.

                    Mark - I swear to you that you read my mind. I TiVo'd the last of the 10th inning and finished watching and it was so enjoyable.

                    Darvish had a smile of a 12 year old. The crowd was great.

                    The Korean coach has some explaining to do on why they didn't walk Ichiro with 1st base open in the 10th.

                    Also, ESPN did a great job of the coverage.

                    What does Ichiro's jersey sell for now. LOL

                      That had to be one of the most well played, intense, suspensful, and exciting baseball games I have ever seen! Of course I was disappointed with the USA not being there but as they were constructed they just weren't as good as either of those teams last night. What a joy of a game to watch. Now if Bud Selig could only either get a clue or get fired we could get some much needed changes to this tourny to make it even better. But as it is, great job by both Korea and Japan for some seriously awesome and precise baseball...that's the way the game should be played!

                        The guy posted some really crappy photos - very blurry. Looking back, though, it looks like he deals mostly in signed photos. Probably not set up to photograph any item with three dimensions.

                            Andrew,
                            Just to let you know, that bidder HARASAN is to Japanese MLB Auction items
                            what bidder EXQUISITE is to NBA Auctions. The items he buys on MLB auctions have never resurfaced in the Japanese market so I am sure everything he wins becomes part of his extensive collection. When he wins an item its usually for something ridiculous and above and beyond any rational market value but I'm not mad. Its good for the hobby to keep the pushing the ceiling on rare 1/1 items no matter the rationale. You can make an argument
                            for any 1/1 item going for any amount.

                              Thanks for the insight on Harasan, that guy has never lost a auction that he gone after, as far as I know. If I see his name I just don't bid!!!
                              Oh well if I had his kind of funds, I guess I'd buy everthing too.
