Uh oh, don't say that. The guy that paid $20,000 for a Mark Sanchez jersey may get upset.

Tony, also keep in mind that $25,000 is the opening price!

Would love to know everyone's guesstimates of where it will finish up. I think it will go low at probably $35,000 to $55,000.

hard to say. not many 500 baseball went to auction. Eddie murray's sold for $380,000 and Mickey Mantle sold for $144,000. It has to be less than both of these. $72,000 maybe, half of Mantle.

Wow, great piece of history. Can't beat MLB authenticated, about as good as it gets for a historic home run ball. Anyone make out the exact hologram serial # and what comes up when punched into the data base.
Who is the auction company?
I'd say it goes for 75-80K

I posted the 30 items authenticated on that day in the ARod thread and the COA of the ball.
