What to do with used Charles Feeney NL balls?

[novakjr]

There's definitely a market for those...They usually sell pretty well on ebay.

They'd be great to get signed by players of those eras... I myself would prefer a to get a game used Feeny ball signed by a Schmidt, Bench, Rose, so on and so on, over a fresh new MLB Selig ball. Some probably don't feel the same, but I'm sure that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

I agree with the above...they are valuable to autograph collectors, most of whom I'm certain would rather have autographs of players from the 1960-70s on a Feeney ball over a newer baseball.

I'd put them on ebay 1 dozen at a time and let the market decide whether they are collectable or just good for batting practice. I'd list them in both the sporting goods section and the sports collectibles section.

Coaches Corner will buy them.

What I wouldn't give to know the ebay ID's of the folks at CC and those that "consign" to them.

it would be interesting if you made a small black pen line over a stich near the sweetspot to see if they show up again with a new story

OT in tems of the thread, but if I'm getting a signature today I'd rather have it on a new ball, only because I'm getting the signature now. I got a ball signed by Branca and Thomson in 1991, and whereas most people were asking them to write "1951" on it, I asked them to put "1991," because that was the current year. YMMV, of course.

And now back to the topic at hand...
