Re: Canseco 88 WS Jersey!!!!! need opinions ASAP

Hey Juan, thanks for the info. I didn't see the 1988 world series jersey on your list, that you emailed me awhile back. I'm curious what other game used jerseys you have? thanks again Dan

Juan, also want to thank you for the info. It's great to have someone of your knowledge on the forum. Since mailman93 asked first, first dibs, but I'd definitely be interested if you're selling any Canseco equipment, whether it be bats, balls, jerseys, gloves from his Oakland days.

Cheers,

Joe

The auction for the Canseco first home run ball has ended. Anyone know what happened there? I'll contact the seller after work, just checking if anyone knows why it was pulled. He stated that he would not end the auction early - guess he went back on that.

Thanks

Jim (the seller) got back to me and explained that the ball has been sold for an offer Jose couldn't refuse. It's a real shame - I was hoping someone here was going to come up with it. I've asked for an inventory of other Canseco items he has available. I'll keep you posted.

Re: Canseco 88 WS Jersey!!!!! need opinions ASAP

that sucks, I was very interested in the ball. oh well, I guess I should of put an offer in. I asked about a price Jose wanted for the ball, but Jim said he would let the auction run. I'm curious what the offer was? maybe next time

[JasonM33]

Re: Canseco 88 WS Jersey!!!!! need opinions ASAP

Interesting. I wonder what the offer was.

I'd also love to know what Jose has left in his collection. I've seen the 40/40 display on his site. Hmmmmmmmm.

Well I'll let you know what the inventory is. Hopefully he gets back to me tonight. It's disappointing that he let the auction end as I'm sure the ball would have fetched good money anyway; there was enough interested. Wonder who bought it and what's going to happen with it. My guess is Mark Petrillo bought it.

The 88 jersey went for $2,400 to a floor bidder.

Just curious, what is more valuable to the Canseco collectors - his 1st home run ball or a World Series jersey?

Thanks,
Dave

Re: Canseco 88 WS Jersey!!!!! need opinions ASAP

For me, his first home run ball would have more meaning than pretty much any World Series jersey. Of all the World Series jerseys I'd have to put the grey road jersey he wore in Game One of the 1988 World Series at the top, his first World Series appearance, his first career grand slam, all capping off his MVP year - all with that beautiful white elephant patch on the sleeve. Between that jersey and the first home run ball - it's impossible to say. Missing out on the ball is tough to swallow.

Re: Canseco 88 WS Jersey!!!!! need opinions ASAP

Personally I favor jerseys over baseballs even historic ones like the 1st HR ball. Signatures on baseballs can sometimes fade drastically over time. I also think jerseys look more impressive in a collection. With that said, a World Series jersey is at the top of my wish list. I hope to have on in my collection some day. That's my 2 cents worth.

Re: Canseco 88 WS Jersey!!!!! need opinions ASAP

personally, i'd rather have his W.S. jersey. i've never had much affinity for historic balls in general. for that matter, i'd rather have his 1990 BP jersey than his 1st HR ball. but hey, that's me.

anyway, while we're on the topic, here are canseco's 2 other W.S. road jerseys. 1990 on top, 1989 on bottom.

Whoa! Where'd you get those pictures? That 89 Road WS jersey is my holy grail.
