Re: Josh Hamilton 2011 WS Game 6 Homerun ball on eBay
I too was going to bid on the ball on Ebay, but he pulled it before I actually bid. I think the ball is 100% authentic and had the Rangers won that game, It would have been a historic piece of Rangers history. If you do decide to relist it or have a number in mind please let me know. Thanks, David hdavid_27 at yahoo.com

Re: Josh Hamilton 2011 WS Game 6 Homerun ball on eBay
i read the interview the seller had with the local paper. it mentioned that he was escorted out of his seat to get the baseball authenticated. when he returned freese hit the historic home run. so was wondering was it authenticated by mlb? there is no mention of the mlb sticker in the ebay description which leads me to believe that it was not. do you know the reason given by the authenticator or the stadium why the authentication was not given?
i think its a great baseball but wondering if the new rules of mlb authentication (not allowing authentication of ball that went into the stands) was put into effect in this situation.
thanks in advance.
if the baseball was mlb authenticated, would you still have asked for an notarized letter from the seller.Regards,

Re: Josh Hamilton 2011 WS Game 6 Homerun ball on eBay
I contacted Monty, he offered it to me at $1600 buy it now on ebay. I went to arrange some funds and it was meanwhile sold on craigslist in dallas. I think the selling price (I will keep that to the buyers discretion) was fair. Unfortunately, much like the bucker ball... people will always wonder if it gets swaped out along the way. Nice piece for sure, I believe it was legit while Monty had it.

Re: Josh Hamilton 2011 WS Game 6 Homerun ball on eBay
Ok. I've had a few good offers for my Hamilton ball and it has motivated me to go ahead and make a move to try to sell it. I haven't had it that long and I'm a huge Rangers fan, but there seems to be interest so I'm going to see what happens. I'm very familiar with eBay. I buy and sell on there often, but I would like to consult with all you guys to ask opinions on the best place and or way to sell it and what you all think I should ask for it etc?? Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry I just now saw this. He said it wasn't authenticated due to neither team requesting the recovery of the ball?? Yeah, even though he offered the letter, I still would have asked for one if it was MLB authenticated. The more authentication, the better right?

Monty must have had several balls that looked exactly alike, scud marks and everything lol! I purchased the ball directly from Monty and feel %100 that it is the actual ball. It matches with the pics of him in the stands holding it and the bat markings match perfectly with the photo of the spot the bat hit the ball.
