Either a) it's not real or b) Sosa doesn't want it for the "price" this seller wants. Days of simply giving HR balls back to ballplayers simply don't exist any longer.
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
Days of simply giving HR balls back to ballplayers simply don't exist any longer.
Days of the ballplayers giving to the fans does not exist any longer also. Yes there are a few exceptions but the majority of them could care less about the baseball fans. We pay their huge salaries and they deny an 8 year old an autograph.
Baseball made enough money from us, why can't we get a little of it back. Besides, what is $1,000.00 to Sosa anyway with the money he has made over the years.

Don't know why he's using a snipr link but here's the direct link -> Click Me
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
I use Snipr because it's easier to remember than the full eBay link, just in case I might want to reference the link elsewhere. Also, Snipr shows me how many times a link has been clicked.
I think it's cool and that it appears legiate. Wonder how much he wants?

"After a few days of treasuring the item he [my son] has decided that such an important piece of baseball history should be in the hands of a collector or at least a bigger Sosa fan than himself."
I'm sure true fan loyalty was the single motivating factor for unselfishly relocating this ball to the proper person (with a $1,000 opening bid).
<< <i>And I know there were authenicators there. There should be more than what hes offering other than his own word about it. >>
Agreed. I'd like to think there would've been some sort of newspaper article, video clip, pictures, something. Then again, not everyone thinks about the importance of providing as much authentication as possible. One of the players I collect is Sosa but I wouldn't consider buying it solely on what they've provided. FWIW a GU bat used for a HR by Sammy is selling pretty good right now. Maybe there's some hope for people with Sosa memorabilia to sell. I've got a couple of things here and there but can't decide if I really want to ever sell them or not.
If the game was taped, he should simply cut out the clip of his son catching the ball, and then post a picture of his son with the ball. #601 is significant because only 4 players have done it, and it's likely among the last homeruns Sosa will ever hit. The ball could also be authenticated by MLB, and I wouldn't touch it if it wasn't.

If it's not your auction and you aren't making any commission on redirects, why would you want to know?
