Please help me understand why someone would sell this great piece of baseball history only to turn around and buy other things like a Babe Ruth collector's plate, Babe Ruth postage stamps, or a 1986 Roger Clemens signed program?

A few scenerios might be that he has a better Ruth ball, maybe a single-sig? or what????

He turned around and bought a Babe Ruth collector's plate for cryin' out loud!

I must be missing something....

I'd appreciate any replies before 12:30 am eastern .... so I can get some sleep!

    Maybe he's selling it for someone else?

    Actually the seller bought those items BEFORE he sold the Ruth auto ball. The Ruth collectors plate was bought June 1st, the Ruth ball was sold July 3rd.
    And the crap he bought is really only a fraction of the value of the Ruth ball. It's not like he spent all the $4000+ on collectors plates. It was only $5.99.
    $4000 can be used towards your mortgage. $5.99 is a McDonald's value meal.

    Hope that helps you get some sleep!

    I'm not sure if anyone here is going to be able to answer this question for you for certain it seems a little strange he would sell this ball and then pick up stuff like that but maybe he needed a certain amount of cash for something and just wanted to pick up some other stuff with whatever money may have been left over ?

    Maybe he was worried about it degrading over time and not being able to get as much ?

    Maybe people were trying to steal it from him and he figured , let me sell it before I lose it ?

    Maybe he caught his son playing with it in the yard and figured he better sell it before he loses it ?


    When I sold my 32 Yankees baseball it was not something I wanted to do , it was something I kinda had to do to help me buy a machine for work .

    Hurt like hell to do it but it makes my job a hell of a lot easier and it makes me more money at a faster clip .

    Sometimes ya just got to do what ya got to do , for me it was a good thing it didn't do too badly at auction, although I think it should have got more than what it sold for but that's water under the bridge .

    Sorry I don't have any definate answer for you , but it's practically impossible to read this guys mind
