Mothers day game used pink MLB baseballs????

[indyred]

Did they use these pink laced with pink writing on them in games today? If so those will be great game used collectibles.

Highland Mint sent out an email a few days ago where you could reserve a game used ball from a game of your choosing.....$299

What is Higland Mint connection to these baseballs.
I would think they will be sold on MLB.com auctions with other Mothers Day game used stuff. Wonder if any home run baseballs got collected and authenticated. Collectors will have chance now to get both pink bats and baseballs that they hit. Pretty cool to see them.

Maybe even some teams will have them in their team stores for sale.

I received the same email as I'm sure most here did. I am excited to add one of these authenticated gamers to my collection but at $299 it's out of my reach. I'll wait for some to hit Ebay and save myself some $$$. I wonder at $299 if the ball will actually be a generic authentication as just game used or an actual base hit by a decent player?

did anyone see if any catcher was using pink gear? i wouldn't mind a set as well as a couple balls.

They can be purchased for much cheaper. The Tigers have been advertising at $100 for a ball from their game.

I was lucky enough to get two balls from the Twins/Orioles game (Trevor Plouffe even signed one for me). I also have a friend who said that he bought one from the Twins game-used stand for $30. Not a bad price at all, considering that an un-used ball a case will cost the same.

i found some for 50, but still expensive. mlb will probably used them again next year. they want to see how much money they can generate from this sale.
