Hal is going to tell you its not real, but he will give you $20 for it since you went through the trouble of coming down there.

Have a couple of those.

Huh, those are actually some really good balls.  (No homo!)  I have so much KSU stuff.  Football programs back to the 1920s ... commemorative program from the last game in Ahearn signed by all the Ahearn era coaches and the whole 1987-88 Elite 8 team (Mitch Richmond signed twice!) ... game programs from the 1982 Independence Bowl and Snyder's first game ... an original KSU "Growl Towel" from the 1980s ... etc.  All of it worth a whole lot, I'm sure.   

And I too have a hand-collected 1988 Topps baseball set.  I'll be willing to part with it for $1 less than steve dave is asking for his.

Anyone have any experience?

My gpa had a baseball signed by the 1977 Yankee's that has been collecting dust for the past 30 years in a dresser drawer before I found it.

Its signed by Thurman Munson and a bunch of other players and according to the interwebz could be worth around $700.

Should I just throw it up on ebay? Does it need to be certified? Any local places that will buy it?

I guess I'll be that guy but why don't you just keep the ball?  It belonged to your GPA and I assume he liked it and it meant something to him for him to hold onto it all these years.  I'm not sure how old you are but I'm guessing some day $700 won't seem like much money to you and you'll wish you still had it.

If I know ben ji's granpa like I think I do he would want him to sell it and spend the money on a 3 day fishing and drinking bender.

YES! Was waiting for someone to try and guilt trip me.

Nobody knew he even had these, they were not displayed or anything and I'm guessing he had totally forgot he had them.  Also I'm the biggest sports fan in the family and IDGAF about autographed stuff, just doesn't float my boat.

We found them in a desk drawer along with some cattle auction records from the 1940's. If you want to know how much a steer was worth in Randolph during this time period let me know.

Talked to "Hal" at ace sports over my lunch break and this is what he told me

1. 1980 Royals WS ball- $250 retail, $125 offer
2. Thurman Munson Yankee's Ball- $300 retail, $150 offer
3. 1972 Royals ball- $100 retail, $50 offer.

Prices looked a little low to me so I will probably try and sell at least the Munson Ball for 500+ on Ebay.

I also posted something about these balls on a royals BBS and someone might buy the 1980 ball...so I got that going for me.

My friends call me Benjamin Button and swear I'm aging backwards, so it's very hard to say.  (One friend calls me Dorian Gray.)

Hal is a rough ridin' liar and a cheat.

Not trying to guilt you just throwing it out there.  Mainly because there was a time in my life I would of sold just about anything for $700 without thinking twice.   My perspective has changed now but if it didn't mean anything to him and doesn't to you then so be it. 

Just don't sell them to that jackass at ACE sports.  I think your approach of going around to fan boards is probably the best way to get a fair price from someone that will actually enjoy/cherish your balls.

This is excellent BBSing right here folks.

I'm not giving you more than the street value of an old used baseball until my guy can check it out.
