If it stays "low," - I may buy it.

And thanks!

Finally got my stuff scanned in. The best piece of mail wasn't scanned as it was a box of 12 ROMLB to get signed throughout the year, either IP or TTM. It took some thinking, but decided that it was worth it.

First off, [MENTION=4259]CatdaddysCards[/MENTION] have any need for this? If so send me an address and I'll get it out to you


Now this was a purchase through MLB Shop. It was when they had there 30% off sitewide and free shipping on orders of $50+ so this was only $7, and a great purchase for a Twins fan in my mind


And finally, I was told by mom that I had a package from a name I never heard of and I wasn't expecting anything at all. I was curious about this and it turns out to be from a member of SCN who I was talking with a little bit about my signed Ginter collection and he was glad to see another Ginter collector. He purchased or traded for these and had the original owner mail them to me. Needless to say, I was shocked when I opened the package. Great timing as well with Mr. Hunter returning to Minnesota.

Great stuff there Zach. The Ginter stuff really does look amazing with the ink on it.

I can use the Valot. I've gotten all of the other 2014 BC autos of Royals. I'll shoot the info over. Thanks much sir!

Best of luck adam.. no reserve makes me cautious but it all looks good

Zac: awesome surprise

Any other auction houses I should be watching besides the RE house?

What about this?


Says "April 19th '58 Homer by Stan Musial" and "Wrigley"
I looked up the box score, and Musial did hit a dinger that day.

What would the odds be? Worth $5 + 20% and shipping?

Also - it's a Warren Giles baseball. Correct era?

Yeah, it could be just someone who was at the game with any random pro-quality ball. Or for anyone that saw the game.

At that price, it's worth rolling the dice.

How would you ever authenticate it? I'd be buying it for the faith that it may be... on a LOOONNNGGGG shot.

Is there any documentation mentioned in the verbiage of the auction? If not, are you able to inquire thru the auction house if there's any?

No paperwork. Comes from a general estate sale.

RIP Roy Tarpley.

Total crapshoot then. What would you spend the $5.00 + on if not a ball with a potential cool story?

I say $5 is worth the gamble
