What an unexpected item for Costco to offer. I still need a Christmas gift.

For that price, they better throw in a year's worth of pizza, hot dogs, and tire rotations.

I was thinking the same thing. Seems a bit steep no?

Default curry /25

The National treasure Stephen Curry card numbered to #25 selling for $600,000 was a steal compared to the PSA 8 sighed Ruth baseball with the multi-colored stitching!

This one is much nicer than the one they offered for sale in May 2020, for $29,999.99

They sure get a lot of FREE publicity from the offering. I'd bet one of the Costco principles is into sports collecting.

that’s not even the most expensive baseball collectible on the website. A Ty Cobb autographed bat is selling for $159,999.99 with an inscription of “With Best Wishes Sincerely - 3/14/49” that belies the Georgia Peach’s famously gruff demeanor.

Should I expect to be seeing cases of these on the warehouse floor anytime soon?

Do you need the Gold Membership to buy this item, or can I use my regular card?

Default Thanks, Pete

You gave me my laugh of the day! Impeccable timing on your part.

I'm heading out to my local Costco's right now for a large one.

Peace and stay healthy.

I've never had one of their smoothies. I'll have to try one next time I'm there. Thanks for the recommendation.

My wife has been annoyed that she doesn't know what to get me for Christmas.

She keeps asking "Is there something that you would like but that you will not buy for yourself?"

So, I showed her the Ruth ball on Costco's site.

She didn't seem amused.

Now if only they had a glove, I could play baseball with my friends again. Oh well, maybe next year.

"Welcome to Cosco, I love you. Welcome to Cosco, I love you."

"I know this place pretty well I went to law school here."
"You went to law school at Cosco?"
"Yeah, I couldn't believe it either."

"Who is that moron?"
"He's my lawyer and not a very good one."

Here's the website photo. I was afraid it will disappear from the website when my wife gets it for me for Christmas!

It’s awesome. Just went to Costco and got the #3 Special at the food counter. Large hot dog, 20 oz. soda and a Babe Ruth autographed baseball for $64,001.98.
