    Really unless you are able to pick a great theme and complete it do not get more than one sig on a baseball! I know nothing is worse than when a player signs a side panel, but I met sooner have a single signed side panel baseball than one with a mix match of signatures. The 500hr idea is a cool one, but if you were going to pay show prices why not get individual baseballs and display them? The 500 HR club has been tainted by the steroid era anyways.

    For the most part, I could not agree more. I was looking to buy a Robin Yount signed ball and the cheapest one I found from a reputable seller was signed by Yount, Earl Weaver, and Al Kaline with Kaline and Yount on the side panels. It was selling for $100. It just looked odd. The price was amazing for a Yount sig, a Kaline sig, and a Weaver sig on a ROMLB but together just bizzare.

    500hr is tainted to a degree. The "old school" 500HR club is still pretty elite. Its when you start adding the Palmeros and McGwires of the world that it gets real dicey real quick.

    Normally I would agree its better to have separate sigs on separate balls but if you already have a ball signed by Jackson and Schmidt getting the old school 500HR club is much better than getting a slew of sigs.

    just a side note...

    I wouldn't do it, especially since it is signed by some moderately hard guys to get. If it were me, I would go for a HOF/500HR ball by trying to add Mays, McCovey, Robinson, Aaron, and Killebrew via IP signing. It would be pretty damn pricey but what a classy piece. Just an idea.



    As for the idea of 500+ club, I like the idea, would be pricey, but GREAT PIECE!

    JUST DONT GET BONDS ON IT!!! Would have to asterisk it yourself!
