I remember the Guernsey's auction in 1999 when they auctioned McGwire's 70th ball for 3 million. They also had a bunch of other great items including Mickeys 500th HR ball. Well the ball got pulled because Mick's wife Merlin claimed they had HR #500. Problem was, her ball wasn't even an official AL ball. It was another brand that Mick had written "my 500th HR" on. Sad, he was scamming his own family.
