Babe Ruth game used bat for $10,000
http://cgi.ebay.com/Babe-Ruth-Game-U...mZ230042455151
I just saw this ... it was snagged off of eBay pretty quickly for $10,000. What do folks think? A Babe Ruth game used bat for $10G is an incredible steal, correct?

Re: Babe Ruth game used bat for $10,000
Isn't this the same seller who invented the side written Joe Jackson bat a month ago? is it Peter Freund?

Re: Babe Ruth game used bat for $10,000
no photo of the center brand?
anyway, i've a somewhat related question. if you've got a highly desireable item that's worth X amount, then why would you sell it for half that price? the ebay auction states that a bat "that is nearly identical to this one that sold recently at Mastro Auctions for $25,000+". if an almost identical bat sold for $25k, why would they sell this one for $10k? why not consign it to mastro or whoever and get $15-20k?
i'll often see similar ads that say the item is worth X amount and they're selling it for less than half. if the item is really worth X amount then why don't they get that amount for it?

I emailed the seller (again, anyone want to bet if he'll respond?) and the buyer. This Freund guy is unreal!

Here is the original auction that Peter won the Ruth in. AMAZING....it used to have the 36" inch marks stamped on the knob, and during the transport to him, it disappeared!!

Ken, Marcus, Rudy, corsairs, and others...
I had similar "questions" about this item. Truly remarkable. You have to feel terrible for the buyer. That is a ton of money - Could you even imagine flushing $10,000 down the toilet?

Re: Babe Ruth game used bat for $10,000
This a**hole (championshipsportsinvestments) is a true piece of garbage.
I'm sure the buyer will be notified.
