Ballpark Pens

Baseball fans can hold their seats year-round with these collector ballpoint pens. Made from the salvaged seats - removed due to remodeling or demolition - of historic ballparks, the pens are a special way to "remember when" and honor the role stadiums play in America's favorite pastime. Each retractable pen is laser engraved with its stadium and years in existence, while the scarcity their one-of-a-kind material makes these pens special, limited edition collectibles for fans of any age. Each pen comes with a certificate of stadium wood authenticity. Choose from Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium or Ebbets Field.

    125.00 would buy a lot of Ballpark Franks!

    I refuse to buy or be involved in any item that involves cutting and carving up something of historic sporting signifigance. This holds especially true for all these cards with peices of bat, jerseys, etc. I am dead against this stuff. I would much rather go to a museum and see a jersey that Babe Ruth or Honus Wagner wore than to see it senselessly carved up into little swatches, only so UD and others can cash in.

    So that's where the bathroom stall doors went..
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
  • Well one thing that I'm determined to buy sometime before I get married is a row of seats from a big league park. I know a couple of collectors who have them and there just beautiful. Yeah the extra cash is a helluvalot but at the same time, what'll be cooler a pen made from a whittled down seat or literally a row of seats in your home bar or den?
    Collecting;
    Mark Mulder rookies
    Chipper Jones rookies
    Orlando Cabrera rookies
    Lawrence Taylor
    Sam Huff
    Lavar Arrington
    NY Giants
    NY Yankees
    NJ Nets
    NJ Devils
    1950s-1960s Topps NY Giants Team cards

    Looking for Topps rookies as well.

    What would you propose they do with thousands of seats that would otherwise have gone to the landfill?

    I am againt them cutting up historical jerseys and bats, but seats? There are seats that are in museums and the like, but this I can see being a good thing.

    I know I would love to have 3 or 4 seats from Yankee stadium sitting in my den for when I have people over to watch the games

    I don't know if I'd prefer to sit in a ballpark seat over a comfy sofa or chair, though image
