Does anyone know how to find a buyer for rare baseball memorabilia? I'm helpipng someone find a buyer who has a one of a kind baseball contract from 1922 signed by Babe Ruth. It has been DNA tested. He would prefer a Japanese buyer because he hears that there are a lot of baseball collectors in Japan. He asked me to help him find one and I don't really know where to look. Does anyone have any advice?
What's the most valuable piece of baseball memorabilia? and whats the most valuable memorabilia in a museum and how much is it worth? and why? how much would the bat be worth where Babe Ruth called his shot? How much would the ball hit in the pennent in the shot heard round the world be worth? and how much would Willie Mays glove in which he made "the catch" be worth?
How can I find baseball memorabilia collectors or auction houses in Japan? I'm helping someone to find a buyer in Japan for a 1922 amendment to Babe Ruth's Yankee Contract signed by Babe Ruth. After Babe Ruth started drinking too much and womanizing and showing up too late to practice the owners amended his contract to say that if he didn't behave better he would be kicked off the team. The man who is in possesion of this unique contract asked me to help him find a buyer in Japan. He's opposed to selling it on Ebay or in the U.S. and he's very specific that he wants to sell it in Japan. Please help. He's going to give me a lot of money if I help him find a buyer because it could be worth upward of 250,000 dollars.

Baseball Memorabilia: What do you think a Ralph Kiner - Home Run King pennant would be worth? I just saw the article about the lady who sold the Cincinnati Reds card - I know what I have is not as old, but I can't seem to find a mention of it anywhere on the internet. My Dad bought it for my Mom at the old Forbes Field, on one of their dates . . . I believe in 1950 or 51. It's made of felt, and is in excellent condition. Just curious if anyone knows how I could go about finding its value. * * * YOU ARE THE FIRST TO RECOGNIZE THE KEEPER OF THE FORGE! * * * I don't think that means anything, but Finally! . . . Someone knew it!

Where would you sell an amazing autographed baseball: DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe; auction or memorabilia show? This is an authentic ball signed by Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe on their honeymoon in Japan!! It is also signed by Lefty O'Doul who used to arrange for Yankee players to come to Japan, and 1951 World Series teammate Bobby Brown. It is in mint condition in a glass case. It has pictures to serve as further proof of its providence. This could sell for tens of thousands of dollars... Question is... where is the best place to sell. Trust an auction site to handle it? Take it to a memorabilia show? What does everything think?

Baseball Memorabilia....COAs? I have several signed baseballs that I'm trying to sell. I didn't personally have them signed, but know they are authentic. Is there a way to get a certificate of authenticity easily and for free? I've been to sites that offer to certify for a price, but if I had the $$, I wouldn't be unloading them. Also, do COAs really mean anything? I'm a novice about sports memorabilia and not quite sure how to maximize my investment. Thanks!
What happened to the other companies that used to make fitted pro baseball caps/hats? On eBay and various baseball memorabilia sites I learned that other MLB pro cap/hat companies used to exist besides New Era, such as Roman Pro, Sports Specialties, and Tim McAuliffe/KM Pro.

What is the best outlet to find the value of baseball cards? A friend of mine recently came across a box of older (1980's and on) baseball and other sports/trading cards. Most are well known brands (Topps, etc.) and almost all are sealed packages. Other than searching through ebay for each individual pack/card/set, or trusting a local memorabilia dealer, is there an efficient way to find out if these cards are worth any value? Or would it be better to open the packs and search for uncommon cards?
Please give me tips on the value of the baseball card market? I have lots of baseball cards from the late 1980s and early 1990s, which is about the time when that market crashed. Are there any forecasters out there who are predicting that the baseball card market will see an upsurge? Is it worthwhile to sell my cards now and just put whatever money I get into a CD at 5%, or should I hold onto them (is it likely that their value will increase by more than 5% per year over the next X number of years)? I know it's hard to predict, but there are experts who predict the growth of the stock market, oil prices, etc., is there anyone out there studying the sports memorabilia market?
What happens to the value of the first ball that broke the home run record if Barry Bonds keeps hittin homers? Does the value of the ball decrease? Is it the first ball that breaks the record that is the most valuable or is it the most homers record ball that is worth the most? What happens if a foreigner were to catch the ball? Is he liable for the taxes of being in possesion of the valuable baseball memorabilia and how would the IRS collect? so it seems that the first ball would go down in price if barry bonds keeps hittin homers. what happens if he hits another 10 homeruns or so and the first ball drops in value and nobody wants to buy it, or fans dont consider it that big of a deal. would the penalty taxes be recalculated accordingly? would the taxes be eliminated if the seller is unable to sell the ball?

Where could I buy new packs of baseball cards? I know this sounds dumb, but my son wants some -- and I don't know where to look!
