Perfect Game/No-Hitter Items

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.

how about the jersey of the person calling the pitches.

Goh,

I gave it a shot since you posted the question.

Did anyone notice when this Erickson jersey was originally sold on eBay? Evidently Erickson himself tried selling his own jersey back in May. Not familiar with the Onion. Must be a good markup by the current owner if the story is true.

I definitely appreciate your input and thoughts. As someone else mentioned
the Onion is a satirical website for entertainment.

Thank you very much for all the helpful info. As I say, there are a few players - Josh Whitesell (who, last I heard, was still playing there), Alan Zinter, Andy Green and Scott Service - whose Japanese League jerseys I'd love to collect, but not if I have to sell my house to finance the purchases.

What is the market for game-used bats like, over there? Similar to that for jerseys?

It won't be much for those guys if it ever hits the market. I would say
around $200-$300 tops, that's if they ever reach the market. I am
not exactly sure what they do with player's jerseys after the season
but I do know some teams do recycle jerseys into the minors.

As for bats, they are far less expensive over there. I don't know
why there is a difference but while an Ichiro MLB gamer may go for
$5K+ over there, an Ichiro gamer from his Japan days goes for
less than half that. I don't know why.
Most Japanese superstar's bats rarely clear the $1K mark over there
unless as I mentioned earlier, its a charity item.
Japanese fans have acknowledged the fact that MLB baseball is
superior and most want to see how their favorite stars will fare on
the highest level. The irony is that some of those same fans are
complaining that everyone is bolting for MLB.

Anyway we got OT, so back to the PG and NH discussion.
