1997 Cleveland Indians item appraisal

[d4347]

In 1997, I was a reporter for WKNR radio in Cleveland, responsible for getting sound bites from the Cleveland Indians locker room after they clinched the AL penant. Like any good collector, I snatched a couple of champaign bottles and corks from the floor before leaving that night and have had them ever since, along with my media credential for proof I was there. Anyone have an idea what those items are worth? I also have all the post season media guides from that year and others.

Thanks for feedback.

Rob,

Unfortunately not very much.

Some of the ones out there with signatures are worth a little more.

Thanks for the info Nick. Sentimental value counts too. Should look good in my display case one day.

I agree with you on that. I have at times kept odd items and unloaded good ones when I needed the cash -- and none of those moves make logical sense.
