Bidding on the Barry Bonds homerun ball #715 started this afternoon on eBay. The bidding starts at $10,000. The last Barry Bonds “milestone” ball (#700) went for $804,129 back in October 2004. Something tells me that this ball won’t go for anywhere near that amount. My prediction: $50,000. In unrelated news, Mr. Bonds turned 42 (!) today.7/25 Update:
The bidding is off to a very slow start. 6 bids so far and the latest offer is only $11,500.
7/26 Update:
OK, so much for my prediction. 42 bids now and the price is up to $125K with 8 days left on the auction.

You couldn’t pay to take that ball. As a life long fan and season ticketholder, I am no Barry fan. I call him Barroid!

The Auction for the Barry Bonds 715 home run ball will most likley go over a million dollars, Auctionwire is managing and running the auction and that means its pretty serious, Ive seen some of the auctions they run which are always top notch.
