Once again greed destroys a friendship. Anyone know what happened with Bonds' 73rd homerun ball? podstock 03-13-2003, 02:20 AM I can't imagine anyone spending $500K or $1M for that Barry Bonds home run ball. surely, there are better investments out there. I wonder what happened to the owner who bought Mark McGwire's #62 home run ball? Didn't he pay $500,000 for it? He lost money on it really quick. No matter how wealthy one is, losing money matters. plunge 03-13-2003, 08:43 AM It just goes to show that collecting baseball memorabilia is not just a hobby or a business -- it's an industry, a big industry IggyWH 03-13-2003, 09:55 AM Originally posted by bbgiants That one is truly stupid.

I haven't heard anything on it being sold yet though. BGray 03-13-2003, 10:27 AM I can't seem to find it but I could have sworn that ball went for a lot less than what was expected. Like maybe $20k or something. Someone set me straight if I'm wrong on that but I remember being surprised how low the winning bid was compared to recent big ball sells. BGray swedishfish 03-13-2003, 10:38 AM Its ridiculous, the guy who first caught should get it, the other guy stole it from him when he got tackled by th crowd. just-for-cards 03-13-2003, 12:51 PM Alex Popov and Patrick Hayashi haven't agreed on much since the two claimed sole ownership of Barry Bonds' record-setting 73rd home run ball. But on Wednesday -- more than 16 months after Popov momentarily gloved the ball and Hayashi emerged from the scrum with the valuable collectible – the two decided on a firm that would market the ball, whose proceeds would be equally split between the two. Isn't this special!!!!!!!!! I'll bid up to $25. bbgiants 03-13-2003, 08:12 PM So after 1 1/2 years of trials and lawyers fees, they decide to just sell it and split the money 50/50. gioperation 06-25-2003, 07:57 PM well it went for 450K to macfarlane so we can put a end to this thread.. Rangers #3 06-28-2003, 09:40 PM Just goes to show you how much the value of famous HR balls have decreased. Still, do you know how many cards you could get with $450K? |
