Got a nice piece of history last night....

You need to pull your head out.

Kyle's question is what is the ball worth. Howard asked a very legit question asking if Kyle has proof, something that will determine the value of the ball.

+1 on that! Why is it that people who are here for a month are always starting trash talk? Howard asked a legit question that will add to determining the value of the ball.

Hey Kyle,

BTW - The Twins Pro Shop was selling Frank Thomas 500 HR game used balls for $150 last year.

Take it with a grain of salt. This is the same member who can't even understand what a basic "photo match" is (http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/showthread.php?p=78580#post78580), let alone possibly try to comprehend what we're discussing on this thread.

Kyle asked for a value on this rare ball, and with some type supporting documentation, a value can be derived.

kyle,

nice acquisition. you never seize to amaze me what a great collection you have at your young age. its not only a game used ball like they sell on mlb.com for milestone games but an actual strikeout ball. wouldnt be surprised if the camera man filmed you receiving the ball.

you ask a good question. how much is another ball worth from a milestone game of a future hall of famer.

i agree on getting it autographed. arod signed balls from his 500 HR game went for 3-4K each time sold.

One thing to remember, more and more teams are selling game used balls with MLB authentication, making it easier to establish a value and also easier to resell. This ball has nothing on it that establishes that it is from that game/play. I would think that it would have greater sentimental value than $ value.
A side story similar to this is a friend of mine caught a milestone HR from david Ortiz. He asked me what I thought it would get on the open market. In my opinion, it lost most of its monitary value when it left the park w/o being authenticated or confirmed that it was indeed the ball that Ortiz hit.

I got a lineup card that the Blue Jays typed up as well as a ball Frank Thomas struck out on from his 500th HR game. They're both authenticated and staying in my collection for sure!

Not only did I prove the photomatch . I was able to get in touch with Mrs. Williams and see also agreed that the jersey did belong to her.

I would take a stab that with the video and a noterized letter from Kyle that the ball is what it is.......around $200 at auction.

Worth much more to you personally Im sure.

Nice work!

Great ball Kyle! Another sweet addition to your collection!

I guess I should have added in my post, I got a little piece of history last night too.....magglio ordonez got his 1000th RBI (& 250th Home run). I just got his authenticated hat he wore during the game (I had to buy this though), cool piece though.

you beat me to that cap !! i got home and read the emal but was too late. very good price for it. i'm picking up a Maybin home jersey from last year tomm.
