Griffey Jr. foul ball

[AstroJake09]

Hi all,

I am interested in a Ken Griffey Jr. foul ball. The ball is dated 4/24/09 and has the score Mariners 9 Angels 8. However, this game was played on 4/25/09 according to box scores from that season. The ball is noted to having being hit by Jr. Griffey played in both games on 4/24 and 4/25, so he was for sure at the park hitting balls into the seats. I wonder how many of you think this is the real McCoy? The ball is from later in Griffey's career and from a regular season game. I feel if someone were trying to create a fake they'd choose a bigger game or season and wouldn't have put the wrong day. They also are asking for $40 dollars, not a big price from a game used ball hit by Griffey. I am told it is from a longtime Mariners collector.

I wouldn't waste $40 on that. Put the $ 40 towards a MLB Authenticated baseball. At least you will know for sure what you're getting.

For 40 bucks I think it's a cool conversation piece...

I agree with Doug a nice conversation piece another word for it is decorative item. I dont think without any proof it will appreciate in price. But OP can appreciate it for years on his wall or desk.

If you feel confident enough about its authenticity, then buy it and enjoy owning it. But if you're not that confident about it, then you'll have nagging doubts about it for as long as you own it and you may not actually enjoy it that much. Maybe spend the money on something that won't have that downside.

I would get it for $40. I get it with all of the MLB authentication but think about how many items are out there that people pass on just because they aren't "authenticated". I think it's a cool item.
