Last week another world record was set. This time for the World’s Most Expensive Signed Baseball!!! The ball you see above was sold for over $600,000!!!
This amazing piece of history contains the signatures on 11 of the first inductees into the Hall of Fame. All 11 who signed were present at the very first induction ceremony which was held in June of 1939!!!
SCP Auctions is the company responsible for finding the buyer. The exact amount? $623,369! The previous records were $388k for a ball signed by Babe Ruth & $343k for a double signed Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig ball.
The 11 signatures on this amazing ball are those of Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Tris Speaker, George Sisler, Walter Johnson, Connie Mack, Nap Lajoie, Eddie Collins and Grover Cleveland Alexander.
Pretty nutty stuff!!! Being in the world of collectibles and a huge sports fan, I thought I’d share the news on this as stories like this do not pop up often.

Wow! That much money! Honestly I don't find such type of money spent as a justifiable one. But hobby may make a person to do weird and unthinkable thing.

I totally understand but some probably see this as an investment. I believe it sold years prior for just a fraction of the amount. So in several years it ballooned to a new insane high. Great investment. Kinda like certain comic books and art.
