I have been wanting one of these for quite awhile. A friend of mine in California was given this by the family an older man she provided in home care for. When he died they were going to throw this out. She asked if she could have it and it was given to her. Knowing my interest in such things she sent me these picture on her cell phone. I'm pretty certain it is authentic. She is willing to sell it to me very cheaply. I don't want to take advantage of her as she is a good friend and very trusting of me. I saw the one at Probstiens123 auction went for 910.00. That one was in excellent shape and contained the underwear with tagging and the bat as well.

This one is the box only and as you can see it is a bit rough. She says the corners are intact and there is no tape or tears. However, it does have "Funeral Keepsakes" written in pencil on the 9. I would like some feedback as to what would be a fair offer to her for this item. Thanks in advance.
