Just bought A Pair Rafael Furcal Game Worn HR Cleats For Only $80!
I was checking out some of the game used last night on ebay and I found a pair of Rafael Furcal game worn cleats from home run #2 in the 2003 season. I did some research and found out that he wore them on May 2,2003. I then checked gettyimages.com and I actually found a pic of him wearing them! I bought them right away cuz they come with a COA signed by Furcal from ASI. Is this price just too good to be true? Total price including shipping was only $90. LMK what you think. Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention, the home run that he hit when he wore these cleats was in the 11th inning to help the Braves win the game.

Looks like you lucked out with a good deal. Not to thrown any negativity your way but a lesson that life teaches you is anything to good to be true usually is. OR MAYBE YOU JUST GOT LUCKY!!!
I just get nervous with guys with low feedback.

Are you guys worrying if a guy with a 15 feedback is shipping a $80.00 item? Pay with PayPal and you are protected. I'm sure you got a good deal, but really, what can you resell the item for, $150.00 maybe $200.00.

I once bought a collection of B18 Blankets for $500.00. I called a local expert on vintage baseball collectibles and he told me what to pay, since I was not familiar with the items.
Then I take the collection to him about a year later, and he offers me over $10,000.00 for the collection. I guess he was low-balling me to buy them for a reasonable price.
Now I wish I still had them!

The question about what are these shoes worth? It appears $80.00! Don't expect to retire from the profits (if any!) on these shoes.
Good luck with trying to move Furcal equipment. Two or three years ago, I could not get enough and the prices realized by collectors was crazy. Now? DEAD. Maybe I can make a deal with someone to unlead all of my Wally Joyner and Furcal equipment in exchange for a hot cup of joe and a good New York bagel.
Just my thoughts.
