Thoughts on these two game used baseballs.

[bryzzo2016]

These have been on eBay a good while.

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on them ?

Where does it say they were game used? If you're asking, are these the home run baseballs, it DOESN'T say so. It doesn't even say they were "used" in the game(s).

The MLB database says they are:

Cool inscriptions and everything, but the baseballs are just random ones that were used during the NLDS last year. Incredibly overpriced.

Yep, they are definitely not the actual home run balls. (MLB will not authenticate anything as game used that leaves the field of play. )

You are correct about the price too. Offered him $1500 for them, and he won't budge.

Tell me, isn't $1500 a more than fair price for that set ?

$1500 is definitely more than fair, even for a hardcore Cubs fan. eBay has thousands of game used items that have been listed for God knows how long because people think they are in possession of some "holy grail" item. There have been items that I've wanted to add to my collection, that aren't in my collection for this exact reason. You just gotta do your best to get ahold of stuff before the "other guy". You could probably get your hands on a couple 2015 NLDS balls yourself, have them signed, and have plenty left over for other memorabilia purchases.

I would say $1,000 is high enough for both. You're right about that they are game used baseballs from postseason, sorry. And nice that auto-session is included in the hologram info. They're not worth the ebay price, by contrast what would a pair from this year be, $4,000??. I wouldn't pay that much for a game used ball that I couldn't track down exactly what play it's from. On another note-I have an authenticated HR ball that left the field, retrieved and given to authenticator, I'll dig it out.
