I wonder how much he will get for it if he decides to sell it?

Got to be worth at least a million. Bezos or some other billionaire would think nothing of dropping that or more if they desired it.

More than that.

Only 4 members of that club, 2 never hit 50 in a year.

Bonds 700 went for what, 850k back in 04?? Gotta figure this, w a clean player, would be around $1.5m-$2m.

Especially if it's his last one...which could happen.

It's a shame Budweiser doesn't own the Cards anymore.

They could have bought that ball & gave it away as a "golden ticket" promo or something.

People be buying 'the King' everywhere

He is holding out for top dollar

Why not hold out? Some fool is going to pay a few million for a stupid ball? I know it's a milestone and a great achievement and all but really 700 is just another number. Somebody just decided that was the magic number.

Only 4 in that group....2 that did it w/ out hitting 50 in a single season.

It does mean something in that it's a piece of Americana

It does mean something to someone but it actually means nothing to me. All a matter of what is value to each of us personally.

The ball worth a lot less when more people enter 700 and eventually someone get to 800.

 

[BigJay]

Never going to be worth more than it is now. Maybe until he’s no longer with us but that’s way down the road hopefully

 

[BigJay]

Maybe Brad Lidge will buy it
