Re: Bug-spray can used in Yank' dugout nets $673 in MLB auction
what's worse.. $673 for a can of bug spray or $20k for joba chamberlain's "bug" jersey?:
http://www.greyflannel.com/sales_mai...?updateID=3074
$20k for the jersey of a guy who's got a total of 24 career innings under his belt so far. to put it in perspective, andy pettitte's 1999 world series gamer, with steiner certs, went for $1980 in the last GFC auction. mariano rivera's 2006 gamer, with steiner certs, went for $2310. i believe clemens gamers on steiner's site were going for $15-20k. apparently they're pricing chamberlain as if he's already won 300 games.
i realize the jersey is from the "bug game" but i can't figure out what about that game warrants any more than an additional $20 premium. the yankees lost the series and the most notable part of this whole thing is that there were a swarm of bugs. i've witnessed hundreds of major league "bug games". i never thought there was anything remotely special about them. apparently i'm wrong. i'm going to look at game tapes to see if any of my jerseys were used in games where there were bugs. here's hoping i see a swarm of midges because apparently it'll put at least another $10k in my pocket!
