This was a real professional repair on a trophy i bought about 4-5 years ago online. I can't remember the details but do remember the pics didn't show any of this. I don't recall ever seeing this particular trophy before and have wondered if the player even belonged on top of this ball from the repair job! Needless to say I returned the trophy and got my money back after getting ebay involved.

Yes, I would wager that figural bater was added at a later date. Really looks "off" as compared to other legit examples.

I was kind of wondering the same thing Jim. Seems like they have softened a bit doesnt it?

I think they’re just getting back to reality . They’re scarce but not impossible to find and there has been a good amount of them on the market lately . Plus , a lot of the people buying them up have made their set so you lose that demand unless they want to upgrade.

Good observation...As a general overview I've been taken back at times at the prices asked, and I think they sold for...Seems like they got up pushing towards $6,000.00 plus...IMO they are so spectacular that in relation to some of the prices I've seen contemporary/semi-contemporary sports memorabilia sell for even $6,000.00 seems like a bargain...but I'm a figural freak...I think "scarce but not impossible" is a very good analogy Matt...

As for repairs affecting value...IMO it depends on how well the repair was done...or how noticeable it is...That one in HA that started this thread was pretty rough...and needs redone...If I recall, and check with Mark Steinberg on this...but I think that catcher is one of the toughest...If getting it fixed runs around say $700.00 and you add it to the $1,320.00 hammer then $2,020.00 seems like a pretty good move...since other than the breach points the rest of it is in pretty nice shape...

Speaking of ebb and flow of prices...I remember I think it was at the 1993 National...my first one...and Mark Rucker was set up...I knew him a little because I had bought some stuff from him by phone...I remember he bought two spaldings there at the show...I guess I couldn't help ask what he gave and he said $1,200.00...I think each...that must have been a lot in 1993 because I remember I was wowed...
