Members KRflyfisher Posted April 4, 2006 Members Posted April 4, 2006 Well a few days ago I was walking my dog by some rental property close to our townhome. Apperantly someone had moved out of one of the duplexes for rent because there was a huge pile of trash sitting next to the curb. Well I saw some little tykes plastic toys (bball goal, chairs, desk etc.) and since I am not above digging in the trash I was going to pull them out and pick them up later since I was about a mile from home. Well in the process of getting the toys I moved a box and found a baseball with writing all over it. I looked it over and discovered that it was signed by the 1957 Chicago White Sox entire team including Hall of Fame member Nelson "Nellie" Fox! I took it to a few card shops around here and one quoted the value of the ball to be around $500-$600! Pretty cool find if you ask me, and since I'm not a White Sox fan I am planning to put the ball up on ebay sometime soon. Not a fishing story, but pretty cool anyway! That's my line- KR
tippet7 Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 WOW! actually that is a fishing story of sorts. Pop that baby on EBay and sit back and enjoy the fun. I would bet you could get some serious cash on EBay You are so stupid you threw a rock at the ground and missed.
Brian K. Shaffer Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 DO IT THIS THURSDAY! Put it up as a 10 day auction, very important. You should be more than surprised with the results. Do some good 'dating' searching first.. take some really good pictures.. be prepared for lots and lots of condition questions. It should pay off for your time.. dumpster diver ! A real score! - Brian Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
