Re: 2016 World Series Game Used Balls !!

Just heard from MLB today. The Balls and Bases from the 2016 World Series will be available around opening day 2017.

Yep, I haven't seen a single Cubs game Used World Series item for sale anywhere.

I wonder if anything will be auctioned or sold at January's Cubs Convention?

Re: 2016 World Series Game Used Balls !!

Well, they are definitely not going to be available this year it looks like.

Spring Training ? Who knows. LOL !

There's no doubt in my mind Cubs players kept there jerseys. Too historic of a moment not to. MLB would have to rip that jersey out of my dead cold hands before I would give one up if I were a player.

While I am quite alright with the prices of these items going down more and more the longer they wait, I am also quite annoyed at the fact that an organization as large as MLB cannot seem to achieve a simple task. Maybe they will list them right after the new year when most people are still recovering from the holidays. They should let the teams handle it. I haven't paid any attention to the Cubs auctions, but the Indians have already listed the last of their playoff memorabilia.

The Cubs listed a few playoff jerseys and that's it.

One thing for sure, is thy won't be available for Christmas.

[bryzzo2016]

Re: 2016 World Series Game Used Balls !!

Still Nothing ! It is definitely too late now for these to be auctioned in the Christmas selling season.

I was really hoping to pick up a WS baseball or two before Tribe Fest in January, but I'm not going to hold my breath. As carbonrosa said, these items should have been listed during, or immediately after the Series. They have definitely missed out on any maximum profit opportunities. Christmas is often a time when people (even collectors) are more strapped for cash, and if they wanted to bank on bidders purchasing items as Christmas gifts, they have missed out on that window as well. I am not a Cubs fan obviously, but after experiencing the chaos that ensued after the Cavaliers championship earlier this year, I can say that the hype dies down very quickly as the new season approaches.

I bet the people in charge felt they missed their chance for max profit when these baseballs should of gone up during or right after the World Series. Now they're probably waiting for the week before Christmas or Closer to spring training to release them. They probably put those other baseballs up to gauge what type of interest is around at this time.

MLB has apparently never heard the phrase "strike when the iron is hot".

Yeah, tell me about it !

And we're getting towards the end of the heavy retail season.

Dumb if you ask me. I can't imagine what they are waiting for.

Re: 2016 World Series Game Used Balls !!

They just listed a few 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 WS baseballs about an hour ago...No 2016

Thanks !
