Wow. that all seems so counter-intuitive. I always love having
unique items in my collection and have never been tempted to really sell, but honestly? 50k I'd probably sell in a minute. On Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:05:44 -0700, "Arnold Quarry" wrote: "Sue H" wrote in message .. . Wow; that sounds counter intuitive I was wrong. A near mint Babe Ruth single signed sold for about $150,000 in 2005 and here is a link to a similar one that was going up for auction last month, expected to go for even more than that. http://www.memorylaneinc.com/carvellincoln.html Single signed Lou Gehrig balls in near mint go for over $50,000. This one was sold last year: http://www.scpauctions.com/html/auct...7postsale.html The most a 1927 Yankees team signed ball ever sold for was $37,000 in near mint condition and it had Ruth and Gehrig on it along with the rest of the team. There are many other examples of a single player on a ball selling for more than the entire team. A Clemente signed ball would sell for more in the same condition than a Pirates team signed ball with Clemente. |
