I laughed so hard

Did anyone see what the Lou Gehrig autographed bat went for at Coach's Corner? 460.00. Yes that is 460.00. And the King Kelly ball they said was worth 55,000 went for 1560.00. I couldn't stop from laughing I almost wet myself.

Yes I meant funny as Coach's Corner thinks the stuff is worth that much but not funny people are paying good hard earned money for that stuff

That Kelly baseball could EASILY get six figures in Lelands, Legendary or Robert Edward Auctions. It could very well be the "oldest" single signed baseball ever to exist.

After all, Kelly was kind enough to date the ball (to help us in the year 2009, if this treasured piece was to be resold) and was even mentioned several times in SCD's "Infield Dirt", a blog run by T.S O'Connell who apparently doesn't like sarcasm and put an end to the blog comment section. But at least you have those on the bottom of blogs still making noise.

Here is a youtube video on the ball and I HIGHLY recommend you enjoy the other videos:

Here is a great comparison...a Derek Jeter Steiner signed jersey sold for $327 and a Barry Sanders jersey sold for $313....and a Ty Cobb signed jersey sold for $288 and a Babe Ruth signed jersey sold for $355.

Thank you SCD!

There also must be 10 Ruth autographs. Amasing how they always get a bunch or Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Mathewson, Johnson and guys like that in there auction every month. Not just one of each but many of each. Even the best auction houses don't have 10 Ruth autographs in there auctions at one time. Unbelievable.
