MLB and the NFL should set up databases and "sell ownership" of all the games ever played in their respective leagues. For example, you buy a "pack" of MLB games for $20 and get 5 games, for instance 6/7/1962 Mets-Giants, 8/1/1936 White Sox-Red Sox, 1940 World Series Game 3, and so on. Then you are the registered "owner" of those games and can sell them in a marketplace, adding a small transaction fee.
Imagine if this caught on.... One day, the big event, REA or Sotheby's or some major AH, working with MLB, auctions off some of the big ones:
Ruth's called shot
A couple of Koufax' no-hitters
The Merkle game
And several noteworthy World Series games, like Mazeroski, Reggie, Jack Morris, Johnny Podres, Grover Alexander.
Of course, the winners don't actually "own" anything - they are just the designated "owner" of those games in the MLB database, which is public and confers nothing excerpt bragging rights.
