Good point. I hardly thing a Ripkin ball is worth as much as they say, but not as low as $50, either.

He's a Hall of Famer, and baseball is the sport that has the MOST collectable/memorabilia fans of ANY SPORT, bar none. And, he's not the best signer, so...your best bet is getting him at one of those autograph signings where he probably chargers $50 for flats, $200 for bats, $100 for balls.

 

When he did a book signing in San Diego -- thousands showed up. Yet, local Hall of Famer Dave Winfield did one, a month later -- about 200 showed up. Bizarre.

Final tally...110 sold!

Steve, with Groupon, it will be general.

Rick,
That's a fantastic idea! Are you offering it towards collectables or also for a way to preserve family mementos? That market is at least 10 Times larger.

101 sold and over 3 hours left!!!!

 

WOW

Steve, depends.  Most allow 1 year for redemption while others have a shorter time frame.

 

I am doing one for Living Social and another for Groupon.  For LS, in order to promote true archival framing,  I am offering $250 in museum framing services for $99

 

For Groupon I am offering my 100% museum quality frames with double 100% cotton rag matting, UV glass, 100% cotton rag backing and archival white backing for $125.

They've sold 86 so far!

I have a $30 Groupon credit... so I could get one for $109. I'm not interested,  however, I would like a Gossage signed ball. Perhaps I'll wait for one of those to be half price. :-)

@Rick:

You mean they have a year to pick it up? They pay for it immediately.

I guess there is demand.
