RUTH AND THE MICK HIGHLIGHT FANFEST AUCTION

The inaugural home run baseball hit by Babe Ruth in the 1933 All-Star game played at Chicago’s Comiskey Park was caught by Earl Brown, who retrieved the historic home run ball in the right field stands. The ball remained in the Brown family until they elected to offer the baseball, appropriately enough, at the MLB All-Star FanFest auction some 73 years after it was hit by Ruth in Chicago. The presale auction estimate range was $100,000-$150,000.

After heated bidding from multiple telephone and floor participants, the battle between two floor bidders ended at an amazing $805,000, with the winning bidder opting to withold his name from public release. The price shattered the previous record for a Ruth-related home run baseball.


and for 715:

Barry Bonds’ 715th home run ball sold for $220,100 in an eBay auction that closed on last Thursday. The item received 69 qualified bids, with the winning bid coming from Marc Chase, an eBay member since 1999 and owner of three luxury car dealerships in California and Las Vegas. Twenty bids were placed during the final hour of the listing, with Chase placing the winning bid with just under four minutes left. It was the most watched item on eBay over the last 10 days with more than 25,000 people tracking it on their My eBay pages. The sellers, Andrew Morbitzer and his wife Megan, have committed 10 percent of the proceeds to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Morbitzer caught the ball May 28 while in a concession line at AT&T Park in San Francisco. The listing began July 24 with a starting price of $10,000 and a $125,000 reserve.
