Barry Bonds is on the verge of a historic home run, but with a year behind his controversies, his famed home run which eclipsed Babe Ruth’s 714 round trippers is back on the auction block.
July 23, 2007 (Press Release) --
Many may recall how Andrew Morbitzer was in a concession line on May 28, 2007 at San Francisco’s Pacbell Park when the famed ball literally dropped into his hands.
Morbitzer ended up selling it to Symbolic Collection, an exotic automotive and collectibles business based in La Jolla, CA. Rovert Rios, Vice President of Symbolic believes that with reports and offers that Bonds’ Aaron breaking home run ball can be worth into the 7 figures, a lucky bidder is looking at a sweet investment in his #715 baseball.
"With no indictments, no suspensions, and seemingly no movement by Major League Baseball against Barry Bonds, I believe this ball is one of the penultimate sports collectibles available today for market appreciation", commented Rios. "Last year, there was a swirl of allegations that had kept many bidders from jumping into the competition for the ball. I believe when the dust settles, Bonds will rightfully be judged as the greatest home run hitter of all time", Rios added.
The auction launched Saturday night on eBay, in a listing being managed by Gazin Auctions, www.gazinauctions.com, a premiere auction management agency for high profile eBay items. The starting price is $375,000, with no hidden reserve, meaning the ball can be had for that price.
