That's $4000 more than a 1967 game used Hank Aaron. Very impressive.
Can we expect 800 homers?

Please send every $3,000 Aaron bat my way, 1967 or otherwise

Well, I have had bats lying around for awhile so maybe Aaron has gone up. I paid a hefty $2000 for it maybe 20 years ago. Maybe i need to update the prices on these old things.

Dust that thing off and send it my way

But seriously, if your thinking of selling, please let me make an offer.

$550 for a Chris Sale K card signed. They also added a game used home Abreu Jersey. Only at 2K.

I'm sorry but there's some really stupid rich people. $7,000 plus for a bat of someone who at best will be a superstar for acouple years. He'll never be a hall of famer and stuff.

Would it be considered a tax write-off, if the money goes to a charity??

It is when you buy something from any of the White Sox garage sales. When you make a purchase at the garage sale they give you a signed letter with the amount you spent with the White Sox Charity logo on it. You might need to ask for something from mlb on the other hand. Not sure a reciept will do because I do not believe it says anything about charity.

The White Sox are donating the money not you. You are buying an item.

Yes with most teams im sure you could get away with a tax write off but not all. Some auctions mention a percentage going to charity, I would ask mlb or team directly. I know some teams auction instead of sell privately just for the reason of donating to charities.

I don't see the difference between attending an event that is donating 10% of the entire auction winnings to a specific charity and bidding on an mlb auction item with them doing the same thing.

Exactly. Which is why I am thinking items like the Abreu bat and the Red Sox ring in the other thread are going for so much money, because the winning bidder can use it as a tax write-off.

I won a couple items through the Cubs online auction last year and I received a letter or an email, I can't remember, stating that a portion of my purchases were tax deductible and it had the amount that was deductible on it. It wasn't much, but then again I didn't spend a whole lot.

If I had to put money on it, I'd say Abreu will be a Hall of Famer. If you watch him over time I dare say you'll change your mind. He's a hitting machine. He hits for tremendous power and bats well over .300. And he knows how to drive in runs. I've never seen anybody so often swing at pitches that would be called balls and drive in runs. He's having a monster year despite spending time on the disabled list and having clowns like Dunn and Viciedo hitting behind him.
