I thought maybe you were joking because that is a ball that should be in a museum. Nice find and BEAUTIFUL ball! I am interested to here the price tag though.

My newest item. 2001 Barry's first Home Run of the record 2001 season(73HRs). Signed Barry L Bonds #459 04-02-2001. Originally sold at lelands for over 16k, lets just say I picked it up for about half that.

The priciest item in my collection is doubtless a game-used and signed Randy Johnson fielding glove...but I didn't pay a penny for it, as it was a Christmas gift a few years ago from my wonderful sister. I know from sneaking a peak at the Leland's auction where she got it that she paid almost five grand for it.

Another Baseball-related gift (from the same sister), though not, strictly speaking, game-used, is a uniform worn by Gena Davis in 'A League of Their Own', at $3000.

The costliest game-used item that I did have to pay for is a Randy Johnson 2001 World Series bat, for which I contributed $2500 to a certain bat boy's college fund (or whatever). Ironically, it only cost me $2.50 to get Randy to sign it...but that's a story in itself, and not a pretty one.

The most I have paid for an item in my collection is the 2002 Craig Biggio photomatched pinstripe jersey that was discussed earlier on the forum:

I collect football jerseys and game used bats. My best jersey is a beautiful 2004 Marshall Faulk Rams gamer with the 10 year patch. Also has the WETRAK tag which is great. My best bat is a 1990 George Brett gamer autographed with nice player traits. Got it from Andy Benish. It is one of the examples on his site that he uses as examples for Brett gamers. A close second is a 86-89 Robin Yount with perhaps some of the best game use and tar you could expect to find. But the Brett was a bit more expensive. I have to say I am in awe of some of the pieces from this forum. Great post.

More than I really could afford at the time, but lot's less than it's worth now.
