Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
I agree, Swoboda4 you have come along way since that particular thread. I'm glad to see that you have changed your tune on collecting the actual ball from the baseball game. You have some very nice balls there that anyone would love to have in their collection. Those balls are the heart and soul of the game and I believe they are the most important thing in the game. After all if there were no baseball there would be no baseball game. My very first GU item was a ball and I only dreamed of expanding my collection from there. Ill post some of my favorite balls on here sometime soon.

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
Lakeerie92 and TBM, I apologize. I'm amazed. And I'm watching AT BAT to know and describe more about what a ball went through before it went out of play. MLB's last play description isn't enough. I'm describing 4x's more what happened then what they are. Syndergaard's ball wouldn't be 99 mph unless I watched the pitch before....

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
I know. Here's one more. You know you may have a collecting problem when you find stuff you forgot you bought.
But here's my example again; the MLB Authentication correctly states this baseball was thrown by Niese with Bourn hitting a single and Prado hitting a triple. Good enough for any game used baseball. But I went to MLB At Bat and found the game wasn't available (2011) but the Gameday was, and the inning by inning breakdown revealed the ball was also thrown by Thole to Justin Turner who tagged Bourn out in an attempt to steal second. I'm glad I found that out. I guess what's interesting about collecting baseballs, which I didn't realize, is that you can find out additional things that happened to the ball that wasn't listed (Eg: Did Jeter touch the ball? Did Syndergaard throw it 100mph? Is the fly out baseball caught by an all-star?). You find this out before the sale or auction's end and bid accordingly. So if one of Syndergaard's pitched baseballs are researched and found to have been thrown 100mph, I believe it to be worth more and the effort to get it.

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
Nothing too fancy. I found this while going through some of my items in storage and having previously browsed this thread thought I'd share. I've always enjoyed WBC game used items and have quite a few in my collection.
This is Team Netherlands first hit of the 2013 WBC. Which happened to be a double by Andruw Jones.

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
One of my favorite Nationals, Ryan Zimmerman hit this Home Run Ball on 4/19/16 Marlins vs. Nationals. His 1st Home Run of 2016 and his 201st Home Run of his career. This capped of the 4 Home Run 7th inning right after Bryce Harper hit his 2nd grand-slam of his career.
