I Can't Believe A Baseball Sold For This Price!

Suave,

Nope.....you're not alone at all. I not only agree with you, I guarantee you it's worth more in today's auction house environment.


Tony......that home run ball is worth more than what it went for then....easily.

And that second career Grand Slam ball has a happy home..... . I paid over $6,000 for it 5 years ago. Worth more today? Who cares, I have NO plans on selling it. My guess is it would go for $7-9,000 if I did.....possibly more.

These are little pieces of history....actual pieces that can be identified to an exact moment in time. To collectors that collect them, they are extremely valuable.....and totally cool if you don't mind me saying so myself.

Suave, would you mind telling me what you paid (buyer's premium included....grand total) for your A-Rod 50th home run ball from 2005? I am really interested to know. If you aren't comfy posting it here, would you email me and let me know? email addy below, and thanks. Did you know his 51st home run ball from 2005 was listed on ebay for $8,999.00 a few months back?

Ooops!! Forget something....here ya go: suicide_squeeze@roadrunner.com

(don't forget the underscore between "suicide" and "squeeze")

Didn't mean anything negative by it. I just didn't realize baseballs sold for that amount (other than Ruth, etc.)

Here's a picture of it I have for inventory reasons....the ball on the right of course....

It's kinda cool that the two baseballs auctioned off that night reside within this forum. if only we could locate the missing baseball as the auction writers wrote.

tony,

its kinda interesting if you read the description of the auction. i think it made a difference in which baseball went for more money that particular night.

I have pics of Arod's Grand Slam baseballs #2 and #3. Hope to see #1 some day.

Steve,

Just curious. Were you going after both baseballs that night?

Hello Suicide, no I do not mind telling you but would prefer emailing you.

Just so you are aware mine is his 51st Home Run of the 2007 season.

He did not hit 50 in 2005.

The one I believe you are referring to was his 50th Home Run ball of 2007 on ebay unless there was another.

My typo mistake, you are correct.....I meant 2007

You own his 50th, correct (from 2007)? The one I saw on ebay was #51 of 2007.
