Got Arod's 585th HR Baseball !!

[joelsabi]

That is a great story. There are a few guys on here that collect HR baseballs the same way you got yours.

Just my .02 of advice, even though you don't plan on selling it now, there are some things you should do as 50 years down the road your family may want to sell it.

Keep your game ticket with the baseball and maybe you can get a screenshot of the guy getting the ball in the game. If you got the phone number of the person who caught it, you can always get a letter from him attesting to the story as I would think it is a valuable ball with or without a MLB #'d hologram.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!

good points. its always nice to consider the long term value of the item and documentation would be in the forefront of its future value. there are circumstance where selling is necessary even though it is the furthest idea on your mind. it's something to consider. maybe you can get video of the guy catching the ball and all getting a notorized letter from the person who caught it.

Great story, you're lucky. Any chance you'll tell us what you paid for it? I'm curious what someone would give up an A-rod HR ball for.

I paid $400 the ball. I'm sure we can debate the price, but figured I wouldn't get another chance at this.


Here is a pick of the guy I bought it off of.

I'm the dude on the right.

Great job getting the ball. Just as important, good choice in beer - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale!

Bill,

You paid next to nothing for it. Nice....

I must have seen you on tv then. Because they showed where the ball bounced. Funny thing is, I was just thinking about an actual hr ball today.
