Balls, Balls, Balls, I Got Balls....

... Yeah, no. This Yasiel ball is not available for trade or purchase but I do have a lot more that are.

I have decided for the most part to get out of ball collecting for my autograph collection. Will I still acquire some in the future? For sure. I will probably focus on just these black ball as I love how the gold pops on it and will hold out for the big stars and/or retired hall of famers to go after. That means Kershaw, Hanely, Kemp, Trout, Bob Gibson, etc are still on my list. The days of relief pitchers and scrubs are over for this guy.

I have been moving back into card collecting and will focus on acquiring on card autographs from all players and I will be venturing into acquiring autographs of players on photos in person now. Don't get me wrong balls are great but even though I have them in a very minimal lighted area some are still starting to tone and that just irritates me. Plus I no longer have to worry about a player not sweet spotting and "wasting" a ball when it gets side paneled. Photos add a great variety of shots that will look great with an autograph in blue or silver.

With that said almost my entire collection is up for grabs. Since I am back into card collecting I am open to trading any and all balls but I am also open to cold hard cash like anyone else would be. Here is the list with descriptions. They were acquired in person unless they were pre-authenticated by PSA/JSA/MLB etc and in that case I bought them that way.

All reasonable offers will be considered. With that here is the list :
