Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    The best part of the story is the ball was purchased by Charlie Sheen in 1992 for $93,000 and then sold to Seth Swersky in 2000 for $64,000. Fast forward to 2012 and with the buyers premium the ball brings $418,250.

    Swersky made a killing on his investment which is awesome!

    Slight OT, but related to famous game-used balls.

    Anyone ever read Don Dellilo's Underworld? Fiction that revolves around what happened to Bobby Thompson's "Shot heard 'round the world" baseball (it was never found btw) in 1951. Cool basis for a book. Longish book worth the read in my mind, but at least read the prologue if you haven't. Book departs from baseball quite a bit.
    My favorite ball players throughout the years: Hank Aaron, Dale Murphy, Ellis Burks, Lance Berkman

    This was in the same article and could be even crazier than the amount the ball sold for:

    The Texas Rangers cap Jose Canseco was wearing in 1993 when a ball hit by Cleveland Indian Carlos Martinez bounced off Canseco’s head and then over the outfield wall for an assisted homer brought in $11,950.

    I always wonder why the Mets don't ever buy this ball when it's come up for bid. Would look great in their Hall of Fame.

    Between Bernie Madoff and deferred payments to Bobby Bonilla, it's a wonder the Mets are able to cough up enough cash for an adequate supply of unused baseballs at home games.
