Cheap!


The college student will be happy if he sees $50K for it.


Either way, it is a nice addition to any collection.



Wonder how much would Alex's 600th HR will go for... it will happened this year despite injury.... Alex currently has 583 as we speak...



We should take bet-poll on when the 600th will happen... I will take first crack.... first week of June 2010!

Wow, Steve, I mean Buster was straight on with his $85,000 to $100,000.

I called Steve Mears (Suicide_Squeeze) and left a VM to see if he won it!

Joel,

Andrew has a way of making things "come to life".


I'll guess..........$85,000-100,000+ for that home run ball. Remember, he plays in New York for the Bronx Bombers. It's the single most desireable milestone homerun ball of the "500" home run club hitters, their 500th.

The only downside(s) to this offering is the steroid connection, and the economy. Otherwise, the skies the limit on this one.

He nailed it!

Yup!

Since uncle will used the FINAL selling price as the base, and with the commission added, he will be moved up in a higher tax bracket!

Doesnt matter what claim and deduction his accountant can comes up with, the bottom line is what they are looking at!



too much headaches.........
