Title: '60 Pittsburgh Pirates
Post by: _Ro_ on May 29, 2005, 04:16:47 PM: Just curious, what would a team signed baseball from the 1960 World Series be priced at?

I know sports collectables vary in price accourding to each individual person. might be $0.01 to one person and $10k for another.

It would be priceless to me. I wouldn't give it up :)

Best I can do is an 87 World Series ball signed for my son by 7 of the Minnesota Twins. Not for sale at any price.

I remember as a kid a buddies Dad having a 58 Milwaukee Braves signed team ball and thought it about the coolest thing out there in terms of baseball. Talk about a piece of history

Items handed down over generations are indeed priceless.

Here is my 1650 "rare" violin.

I'd never sell it, its been handed down many generations. I should probably get it appraised for insurance purposes...

Post by: Hajo on May 30, 2005, 05:46:41 PM: I collect baseball memorabilia also.

Live near Youngstown Ohio so I spent lots of time in Forbes Field and Clevelands Municipal Stadium. Now the Jake and PNC Park.

60s' Pirates....great team. Maz is in the HOF...Clemente in right field with a shotgun for an arm.....no one...but no one would run on his arm. Remeber Dick Stuart? AKA as Dr Strangelove because he had an iron glove....couldn't field anywhere worth beans.

Law, Face...Bob Friend...Groat, Skinner, Virdon.....just to name a few.

Never....ever sell that ball....it makes Yankee Fans wince :aok

Whats cookin in Youngstown?.....was born and raised in Duquesne, my grandfather worked in the Homestead works, also have a ball from the Grays.....use to listen to stories about Josh Gibson and how he would launch a ball clear out of site. Often wonder if the record books would have been rewriten if some of those old Grays could have been in MLB.
