Today was a fun day to add a couple cool baseballs to the collection. I noticed on Facebook that Chris Hoag was selling a bunch of game used items from a person who consigned them to him to sell. I was watching some of these items that I thought were cool but was not willing to pay the price they were listed at. On Thursday, the Twins Home Opener Day, Chris ran a sale. It brought the prices down to a little more palatable price. I offered a price for a pair of baseballs and his consignor accepted my offer. I met Chris to pick up the baseballs today since he lived in the city right next to mine. The baseballs I picked up are:
- 2005 Opening Day Game Used Baseball signed by Joe Mauer with “04/08/05 Game Used”
- Game Used baseball from 06.14.2015 which was the game Byron Buxton made his Major League Debut.
With the year Byron has gotten off to I am excited to have this baseball. I have a pair of signed and unsigned tickets from this game in Texas so this is a cool addition.
