MLB took all of them, per usual. Apparently they are taking their good old time putting them up for auction... unless they are selling them somewhere that I don't know about.

AJenks-

I am not who you replied to, but I collect Indians. I have plenty I want, and some I can part with. If you are interested in either side, or to just show off, let me know.

Has anybody heard anything about G/U 2016 World Series Balls ?

I can't believe MLB is going to let the high retail season slip by without listing these on their auction site ?

I saw that too on 11/11/16. I just talked to MLB again today, and they still have no information on the balls.

MLB has apparently never heard the phrase "strike when the iron is hot".

They just listed a few 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 WS baseballs about an hour ago...No 2016

Yeah, tell me about it !

And we're getting towards the end of the heavy retail season.

Dumb if you ask me. I can't imagine what they are waiting for.

I bet the people in charge felt they missed their chance for max profit when these baseballs should of gone up during or right after the World Series. Now they're probably waiting for the week before Christmas or Closer to spring training to release them. They probably put those other baseballs up to gauge what type of interest is around at this time.

I was really hoping to pick up a WS baseball or two before Tribe Fest in January, but I'm not going to hold my breath. As carbonrosa said, these items should have been listed during, or immediately after the Series. They have definitely missed out on any maximum profit opportunities. Christmas is often a time when people (even collectors) are more strapped for cash, and if they wanted to bank on bidders purchasing items as Christmas gifts, they have missed out on that window as well. I am not a Cubs fan obviously, but after experiencing the chaos that ensued after the Cavaliers championship earlier this year, I can say that the hype dies down very quickly as the new season approaches.

Still Nothing ! It is definitely too late now for these to be auctioned in the Christmas selling season.

One thing for sure, is thy won't be available for Christmas.

While I am quite alright with the prices of these items going down more and more the longer they wait, I am also quite annoyed at the fact that an organization as large as MLB cannot seem to achieve a simple task. Maybe they will list them right after the new year when most people are still recovering from the holidays. They should let the teams handle it. I haven't paid any attention to the Cubs auctions, but the Indians have already listed the last of their playoff memorabilia.

The Cubs listed a few playoff jerseys and that's it.

There's no doubt in my mind Cubs players kept there jerseys. Too historic of a moment not to. MLB would have to rip that jersey out of my dead cold hands before I would give one up if I were a player.

Yep, I haven't seen a single Cubs game Used World Series item for sale anywhere.

I wonder if anything will be auctioned or sold at January's Cubs Convention?

Just heard from MLB today. The Balls and Bases from the 2016 World Series will be available around opening day 2017.
