Funny......where did the value of $279 come from?  I would value this signed ball at $50-$75 max.

I agree with Richard.  Not much demand for Cal Ripken Jr. signed baseballs.

They've sold 52 so far and there's a day and a half left...so there's demand, just not to the usual audience. That's the thing about autographs...there's so much potential demand out there beyond the traditional collector's market.

This Groupon was for the DC area only...WOW.

Steve, I am marketing true archival framing services.  The last few frame shops received over 1000 to 1500 orders!!

They usually make them short--like 1-2 days, for the sense of urgency.

Yes, but the expiration of using it can be up to a year. 

Comment by CJCollector on May 25, 2011 at 9:45am

I guess there is demand.

@Rick:

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

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. :-)

They've sold 86 so far!
