Bonds #755-#756 home run balls, what will they be worth?

Journeyman · Jun 28, 2007

And which is worth more? I assume the record breaker is worth more, but how much more?

What will these balls be worth waterlogged?

I will start the bidding at 100K

#755 will be worth more than #756 once he passes #756. His last home run ball which will probably be somewhere around #766 will be worth the most, until Arod hits #767

I disagree. You really think his last home run ball will be worth the most?

I agree Jman Id say the one that breaks the record 756 will be worth the most

I pray to the Lord that you just might have jinxed him and he never hits him.

To low Jman a Dallas auction house has already offered 1 million for 756

Auction house willing to buy 756 ball for $1M

How much will Barry Bonds' eventual 756th home-run ball be worth to the fan who retrieves it? At least $1 million.

A Dallas auction house has offered a $1 million bounty for the historic ball.

"We invite the lucky owner who delivers this historic baseball, as verified by Major League Baseball, to redeem it for a $1 million bounty at a Dallas news conference within 15 days of the record-breaking homer," Chris Ivy, drector of Sports Auctions for Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas, said Sunday.

"The baseball that sets the mark could truly be considered 'priceless,' but we expect that $1 million dollars will be very tempting to the fan who catches that ball." Ivy said.

damn! a million already! okay well I will keep my 100 dimes for another time.

ivyconniver · Jun 28, 2007

whoever catches it better immediately curl up into the fetal position because there's going to be one hell of a scrum for that ball

It might be worth hiring about 100 mexicans to sit out on the sidewalk and in kayaks for every game where he might get the record.

Does Bonds still reach the cove? I haven't seen any this yr.

Wrigley · Jun 28, 2007

who owns the ball if it comes back in to play after the homerun is hit Bonds or MLB ?

you know he is older that albert pujols right?

WVU · Jun 28, 2007

I dont see why #756 would be worth more than the one that would be the current record holder, but I have been wrong many times...at least 6 or 7 times in the last year.

chipman58 · Jun 28, 2007

I think the Bonds homerun balls should be blown up like the ball was for the Cubs a few years ago.

Howard has 100 homeruns and Pujols has 266 homeruns and they are essentially the same age. Viejo just jumping on the Howard bandwagon. That bandwagon lost a wheel early this year.
