Judge 62nd HR ball - turned down $3 million; good idea or not?

Goldin will make damm sure it doesn't sell for an embarrassing number.

I'm thinking the same thing. Goldin will promote the h*** out of it.

Suppose Goldin, the seller, and the potential $3 mil buyer work a deal where the ball is offered with a $2.5 million reserve, and if the reserve isn't met, the buyer gets it for $2.5 mil.

Something like that would mean:
1. Goldin gets a ton of publicity for offering another mega item, and chance to set a new record for a baseball.
2. Seller has the chance to score huge.
3. Seller has a guaranteed $2.5 mil, worse case scenario.

The $3 mil offer people either miss out, or get it while saving a half million dollars. Or, they bid on it themselves.

What if Judge or someone else hits 63 or more this upcoming season or the next.

With the all or nothing approach most players take today this will be surpassed, and maybe soon.

They better sell that ball quickly.

Maybe lelands will resell it as "2022 hr record ball"

In all honesty, it is punching well above my weight to even think about a value. For a buyer 500k to 1 million seems fair for bragging rights. For the seller, I can only imagine greedy will make for a hungry puppy.

The greed factor is awfully high.

Yes it was and he made good money just not as much as he hoped.

But then as mentioned before the TAXES

so maybe better he sold for less so he pays less taxes on it
