Yeah, I think Brandon was on to me pretty quickly. He had a sense of humor about it, though (I think).

On one of the Yankee Stadium tours I took in October-November 2008 (this would be the original stadium), I saw a few people scoop up some dirt from the warning track - and "security" came down on them pretty hard and made them put it back.

That was a great interview. I had always thought that by giving the ball back the way he did many things would come out of the woodwork and it looks like they are. I had no idea he was signing balls, how cool is that, even cementing himself more into the history of the day and now a client of Steiner sports, it's almost to surreal to fathom. The kids future is looking brighter day by day and he's become an overnight baseball fan celebrity. I was thinking how many endorsment opportunities he will have and can see a Jared from 'Subway' effect taking place and don't see his shine fading out anytime soon. I wonder how many agents are trying to get him onboard, I would imagine quite a few at this point. His head has to be spinning like the moon and he's pinching himself saying 'don't wake up' !!

I love that..."you can buy a ball for $599 or $699, depending on which one you want". I'm assuming the $699 ball hangs a bit lower
This is just insane. I don't know anyone in their right mind that would pay that type of money. I just can't imagine there's enough people out there paying that to keep this market afloat.

Sounds good. More than likely, though, his fifteen minutes are just about up.

I don't think so, he is the poster boy for all the corporate greed in the world to grab onto something wholesome, he will probably end up making a few million off endorsements and be shooting his first commerical shortly most likely, just watch. I also want to say I hear everything you are saying and can't disagree with you, and as upset as you are with Jeter and the Yankees I hope your rage is 100 million billion times more towards the politicians and civic leaders who are truly stealing and robbing this country blind to the point half of it has been sold and put in their pockets and we all participate without choice.

"Quality Dirt"


I LOVE it!



Steiner has a place in the hobby, because their items are legitimate, even if not reasonably priced.



Note: In the interest of full disclosure, I own several Steiner items, none of which I have ever paid their full price for, nor will I ever. Some I've acquired from secondary markets, as in ebay, and others directly from Steiner on specials that brought them into the realm of reasonable (IMHO).

It's interesting in that you can find Steiner items on ebay for half the Steiner retail price. I guess some people overextend their finances buying $500 baseballs and have to liquidate.

So, if it's marked $500 at Steiner and sells on ebay for $250, what is the true fair market value? Seems like the $500 is a somewhat artificial price point and the $250 is more representative of FMV.
