Game Used Home Run Baseballs See List

Re: Game Used Home Run Baseballs See List

This really has nothing to do with this topic, but I just wanted to say that I once interviewed Dave Daverson for my college paper in Chicago, and he was cool enough to take the time to talk and let me shadow him while he did his ballhawking.

I was worried when I got his name and he said it was Dave Daverson. It kind of sounded made up, but all these years later, it's good to see he was telling the truth

Re: Game Used Home Run Baseballs See List

I'm not trying to stir up anything here, this is just an honest question. Does anybody here think any of these baseballs are worth $500?

a collectors items is only worth what someone is willing pay for it.

taking a hypothetical big-time collector of fred mcgriff and comes across this homerun baseball of his favorite player by a ballhawker. you dont think he might consider forking over $500 for a homerun from his favorite players. its not like alex rodriguez hr baseballs that are more likely to be saved and later sold be whoever owns it. there are other avernue to find homerun ball for arod. but this may be the only homerun ball of fred mcgriff that the collector has ever seen. and the ballhawk has video of him catching it. if the mcgriff collector offer $400 and the seller refuse, i give it 50/50 chase that he goes to $450 or $500 to get that baseball.

to each his own i guess.

actually i was debating on whether to post because i think this section should be for the seller to sell his/her items. not a place to belittle items that someone is trying to sell.

This is why the mlb authentic HR baseballs go for such a premium.

What HR # is the McGriff ball?

Re: Game Used Home Run Baseballs See List

I just wanted to say that I purchased a Frank Thomas baseball (HR #327) from Dave and the experience was one of my favorite yet. The presentation of Dave's balls (please hold your laughter) only adds to the display value in my opinion. I found his price to be fair and reasonable as well as honest. I recieved a copy him catching the ball as well as his paperwork to accompany the HR artifact. I am glad to see Dave posting again on the forum and hope that some other collectors get the opprotunity to add a unique item to their ever growning collection.

Thanks Dave and good luck.

I had a nice transaction with a fellow GU member for a signed and dated HR ball along with ticket stub and screen shots for $400 -- would argue the player is just as good as anyone listed here. I simply trusted the buyer about the value since he's more of an authority than me. I think I paid $80 for the ball.

Re: Game Used Home Run Baseballs See List

Sorry for the delay in posting. With the Cubs at home and work im gone 24/7 . I will reply in reverse order


Wade - Thank you for very much for the kind words.

Ndevlin - I have two Mcgriff hrs. Both are unsigned . The one offered on this post is from 1998 99 ? , # 362 or 363. I will have to double check when I get home. The other is from his Cubs days but is above the 500 limit on here

Schubert1970 - Yes , the mlb authentication would be the gold standard for hr baseballs. That is what you are paying for , that mlb hologram. If Mr Medeima thinks I have " an oversized ego " thats fine. I do beleive with all the work I put into documenting my baseballs that they are worth more than just some random " joe schmo " selling baseballs.

Joelsabi - I couldnt agree with your post more. With each ball I have an opinion as to what they are worth ...to me. If anyone disagrees thats ok with me . Eventually I get what I think they are worth. Sometimes I have to wait a few years , or decades ...but the price is met sooner or later ..usually. And in some occasions I give into someone who I think is polite and is not just trying to flip it and make a profit. And they get a good deal in my opinion.

gameusedfan - No wonder I could never find that story ....with my last name spelled that way....lol. I wish I could find the link to Mr Medemia's comment a few years ago ...where he said I turned down an interview request becasue " they werent big enough " implying I only talk to major newspapers or tv....lol . Truth is I much prefer to talk to local or college papers because they seam truely interested in my hobby and what I do.
Late in 2007 I had an interview request from Erin Andrews from ESPN whom I ran into while Bonds was in town chasing the record. After looking over her questions which were " why is 755 and 756 so important ? and " Why I am on Sheffield and not Waveland ....I declined thinking these questions were embarrassing to her .. and me !!


Lastly , I know very little about game used bats or jerseys and would never in a million years consider commenting on these items value in someone elses classifield ad . It is rude to me and to the rest of the forum, and yes I beleive I had the right to have those comments remove. But I didnt thinking I give the others a chance to express thier opinions and maybe some would come to my defense . And a number of them did through my personal email and others did on here. And I think you for that.

I also would never consider answering a question made out to the author of someone elses classified ad ( like Mr Medeima did ) I truly feel sorry for Dave and his illness and I guess I even feel a little bad that we , the Ballhawks , ignore him when stories are being written about us from time to time. There are reasons he is not included and I think this thread kind of gives you the idea why.

Thank you


GO CUBS !!!

Dave D.

OK...you've said your piece, and I've said mine. As long as you refrain from suggesting someone's contrary opinion should be censored from the thread, I'll consider this debate over.

BTW...nice perseverance on the Soriano HR.

Re: Game Used Home Run Baseballs See List

Ballhawk,

It was inappropriate of me to question the value of your items like I did and I apologize for doing so. Believe it or not, I really wasn't trying to start a fuss. (GUU has a few members who specialize in that - I am not one of them) I don't collect baseballs and I was trying to gauge other people's opinions as to their value.

I hope there's no hard feelings.

Your fellow collector,

Jay Couture

Re: Game Used Home Run Baseballs See List

I have worked with Dave and his associates and they have all be great. I love the presentation of the balls with the paperwork and hologram!

I have previously caught a HR ball that came off A.J. Pierzynski's bat. I was wondering if you do engraving. If so, I'd like this engraved:

A.J. Pierzynski #12
HR #100 Career

Let me know.
