Just an interesting little baseball item that I thought I'd share. Can you imagine what the Merkle's Boner ball would go for?

The Merkle ball was sold by REA in 2010

Personally, I'd rather have the Merkle ball and the extra $400k.

I wasn't even aware that REA had recently sold the Merkle ball! It shocks me that it went for roughly $340K less than the Buckner ball. I guess there's no over-estimating the significance of the Red Sox connection. All throughout my collecting history, I have found that Red Sox-related items (as well as Yankees-related items) tend to go for more than market value, even when the individual involved is a 'nobody' (i.e., common).
