What are your opinion on placement star? I guess they use them as placement holder so that player/person knows where to stand during the pre game ceremony. Below are the placement stars used in an All-Star game Ceremony.

Is this something that seem collectible to you. Would you want to have one of your favorite player if it was available.

The photo is Yogi Berra and Gary Carter and I guess the other stars are for the starters of the game.

I was at a signing with Cal Ripken Jr in NJ last December and someone had him sign his placement holder from the 2000 All Century Team ceremony. Cal questioned what it was and we learned what it actually was, he thought it was a very cool piece (was the first I had ever seen one).

I would be interested in one from the player I collect, although, he was injured at the time. I know he took part in the work-out day, so I'm not sure if there is a star for him. Do you have access to them? If so, please let me know.

I'm assuming only the starters had placement stars, none of the non starters and extra pitchers had them right?

based on my research, the only one that would be available are the starters from the game. if you see the photo a posted, the hall of fame players were already on the placeholders and then they announced the starters (the end placeholder) so cristian guzman would not have one.

i am not a dealer, but if we know who wants one, maybe we can work a bulk deal and get a discount that way.

email me if you want in.

Arod

I remember this thread that Joel started a while ago. I got a call from my MLB guy with an inventory list and there are still a bunch of these framed placement stars that are unsold from Yankee Stadium and the prices seem more reasonable than what Anthony quoted me before. If you deal with Highland Mint, you should call your rep.

Alex Rodriguez Bill Mazeroski Robin Yount
Ryan Braun Juan Marichal Billy Williams
Don Sutton Tony Perez Geovany Soto
Dick Williams Lee MacPhail Jr. Bob Feller
Al Kaline Fergie Jenkins Eddie Murray
Matt Holliday Willie McCovey Rollie Fingers
Phil Niekro Earl Weaver Ben Sheets
Reggie Jackson Jim Palmer Terry Francona
Orlando Cepeda Hanley Ramirez Ralph Kiner
Bruce Sutter Robin Roberts Cliff Lee
Gaylord Perry Wade Boggs Tommy Lasorda
Kosuke Fukudome Manny Ramirez
Milton Bradley

I actually just got an email from Anthony in regards to these, He updated the prices decently. I guess the Mint wants to move these.

NewYork2 - Maybe he just saw this Post or just coincidental timing but $1100+ with shipping on a cardboard sign seemed like an expensive proposition when Anthony sent me the original list.

Now the same ones at $600 at least are getting closer to reality.

Here was the original list:


Arod 950
Mazeroski 599.
Braun 1095.
Bob Gibson SOLD
Tony Perez 850.
Geovanny Soto 1095.
Fergie Jenkins 599.
Goose Gossage 599.
Robin Yount 850.
Phil Niekro 850.
Rod Carew 850.
Rollie Fingers 599.
Dustin Pedroia 1095.
Orlando Cepeda 599.
Bruce Sutter 599.
Gaylord Perry 599.
Frank Robinson 850.
Chipper Jones SOLD
Juan Marichal 599.
Lou Brock SOLD
Dennis Eckersley 599.
Dick Williams 599.
Terry Francona SOLD
Hank Aaron SOLD
Eddie Murray 599.
Tony Gwynn 850.
Ernie Banks SOLD
Derek Jeter SOLD
Whitey Ford SOLD
Ozzie Smith SOLD
Kevin Youkilis 1095.

Are they only made of cardboard? Anyway he basically said that all leftovers were $650 with shipping now so that seems about right on with what your saying. I think they are cool pieces. You guys think I should pick one up?

I just inquired about them, but it seems like a lot of money for something like that. yes, it's unique and I could see a couple hundred maybe, but for that price you could pick up a game used item from some of those players...

They do look great framed up but still I think I would rather spend $800 on a Ryan Braun gamer bat then $700 on a star.

Well the emails have been flying on Newyork2 and the coincidences and similarities when he joined in Mid-June when Anthony Bragg was getting suspended.

Then you read how many posts were about Anthony and Sheffield bats, Jeter, etc.

Could he have done it to the Forum again?
