2001 All Star Game Ball wanted!!!

[gingi79]

If any of my fellow collectors follow NASCAR, Dale Earnhardt died in February 2001 at the Daytona 500. His son, Dale Jr., raced in the July 2001 Daytona race in a car sponsored by the 2001 MLB All Star Game.

I was a big fan of Dale Jr before his dad died but I really liked how he handled the pressure of taking up his father's mantle. I rarely cry at sporting events but I was so happy to see Jr win the race, it became my favorite NASCAR memory.

I own a ton of stuff from that race, including an ultra rare Elite 1:24 scale version of his car and other stuff but the prize jewel is a 2001 All Star baseball signed by Jr.

Thanks for bringing up the subject and giving me a smile.

Wish I could help, in fact I'm looking for a couple myself(with autos though).

Even being a big Mariners fan, I only had a hunch these were made in a smaller batch than normal as the prices are way up there and only seem to go higher each time.

At least I'm not the only one frustrated by the scarcity
