Re: 1927 Yankee Ball
I have no idea what your bat is worth, I have bought and sold around 5 game used bats in my life. I'm sure someone out there knows.
As for the WBC, I'm sure they'll have specially made baseballs for the games and I'd be sure they'll sell them down there and on eBay.
What would make you think they would use MLB balls?

Re: 1927 Yankee Ball
If that is the case, I bet they still use special baseballs - Why would they turn down that opportunity?

Re: 1927 Yankee Ball
trsent,Let's say the ball is genuine and it's value is close to $15-20,000. I understand your point-letting the market,which is considerable,find this items value-without unneccessary costly safeguards. But if this ball belongs to a family finally deciding to liquidate it's one and only important object,I wouldn't be inclined to "throw it to the crowd" on ebay and see where it lands. $40 is not a lot of money(or more for a higher reserve I imagine)to protect with a reserve something this important. Why? Because on ebay this item could very well settle between $1,500(and I'm being generous) and $12,000. And that's if the right people see it. If you were going to an auction house wouldn't you be paying them a percentage plus costs? So whats $40 or more to protect-and again if it's real-this very important item. Oh,and I was home sick today(note upon request).

Joel-In all this excitement I forgot to mention the biggest problem I have with this item-a 3 day auction.

Re: 1927 Yankee Ball
I don't get the Tom Hagen line, did I miss that movie?
I understand your point, but not everyone uses reserves. It is not our business or a reasonable factor to determine if an item is genuine or not.
I can understand any other thinking, and my point about not accepting PayPal is a big deal for a 3-day auction of an item. I did email the seller, I am still awaiting a reply.
