Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items
Does anyone know what happens to the bats used by the players who make the final out. Do they keep using them, keep them or what. has someone ever come across one, and do they hold more value?

There was once a Gabe Kapler pink bat on MLB Auctions used when he made the final out for Dallas Braden's perfect game. I can't remember the exact price, but it sold somewhere around $500-$600.

Re: Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items
How much of a premium does a no-hitter add to a:
1. Nolan Ryan jersey used for a no-hitter
2. Dwight Gooden jersey used for a no-hitter
3. Edwin Jackson jersey used for a no-hitter
I used these examples because they obviously have varied levels
of popularity and success.
I have a jersey of a mid-level, yet popular player/big-market team in Japan
worn throwing a no-hitter. It would be a $1000 jersey for a regular
jersey so wondering how much of a premium a no-hitter adds.
Any input would be appreciated.

Re: Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items
It depends on the player. Some I assume reuse them, others for superstitious reasons probaly never use the stuff they wore/used in a game their team was no hit again. They would hold unique collectible value in my opinion because other than baseballs used in the game you are unlikely to see stuff so directly connected to the no hitter. The pitcher's stuff I would assume would not hit the market and a final out bat is the next best thing.

i.e. $500 >> $5000?

Re: Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items
I realize that this isn't game used, but I just thought I'd share this complete, autographed no-hitter ticket from 1991, where four Orioles pitchers (including the recently deceased Mike Flanagan) contributed to no-hit the A's:

Re: Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items
Do you think the no-hitter adds exponential value to a jersey?
i.e. $500 >> $5000?
Really curious to hear.
Thanks

Re: Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items
you made me curious too.
im going by the quick calculation based on information on sale of two 1991 nolan ryan jerseys.
one was his 7th no hitter and sold for $44,812 in 2011.
http://sports.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7032&lotNo=80974
a non no hittter jersey of ryan sold for $4056 in 2007 factoring inflation bumps it up to $4,432.09. if we allocate the jersey alone at $3000 of the winning bid of $3394 then the jersey with inflation accounted for would be $3,933.41.
http://www.lelands.com/Auction/Aucti...iform-with-Hat
So it seems that the no hitter jersey went for 10-11 times the price of a non no hit jersey for the same year. We can allocated more of the price to the pants/hat and the factor could go up to 12.
So your assessment that the price going up 10 times seems accurate for this example. Wish there were more no hit jerseys up for sale for more raw data.Regards,

Re: Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items
This confirms something that I've suspected for some time - that the price of game-used items in Japan, even of a mid-level player, are much, much higher than a comparable item in the U.S. There have been some American-born players who've played in Japan, and whose jerseys I'd love to own, but I suspect that they'd be out of my budgetary range, even if I were somehow able to find them.
Gnishiyama, when (and if) you see the Japanese League jerseys of the American players for sale, how do their market prices compare with those of the popular native Japanese players? Do they tend to be more sought after, or less?

Re: Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items
sure. at the super high end it may be accurate. just never seen a no hit jersey available for a pitcher of the caliber of Kevin Millwood or Bud Smith to make a good comparison. but maybe there are some collectors who would pay dearly to have a no hit jersey in there collection but never seen them come up for sale. so for a bud smith 2001 non no hit jersey that cost $200-400 how much would a person pay for a 2001 bud smith no hitter jersey?
