I have a Game 6 Game Ball from the 1995 Finals when Hakeem was named MVP...it is signed "Hakeem Olajuwon MVP"...Just curious what someone would give for it?
I also have a MJ signed ball...what would someone give? Didnt say I would sell but...what would some offers be?
Ohhh yeah, that reminds me of something I won't EVER sell. I don't know what it's worth, but I'm sure it's a little valuable. Hakeem, Drexler, and Barkey signed ball (w/ COA). My brother won it somehow. What is it's value?
That all depends on the COA and the type of ball it is. If it is a regular indoor/outdoor basketball with the COA being from a company no one knows about, then no one will give you more then $50-$100. If it is an official NBA ball and the COA is from Upper Deck or Houston Rockets then the ball can easily be worth $250-$500. Please realize that I am no expert in these matters. However, I have been collecting for over five years now and have some knowledge regarding trading cards and memorabilia. So the estimates I have given you are pure speculation on my part.
I believe it's Upper Deck COA, but Spalding brand. There was one similar on ebay a few years back that was only Hakeem and Barkley, and then there was another with Hakeem, Barkley, and Pippen. They were going from $250-$400 .
Upper Deck is the most trusted and well respected name in the industry. If that ball is in fact Upper Deck then you can get some good dough for that ball.
What's funny is the personal stuff isn't worth jack anymore. You need that authenticated stuff. Probably my favorite ball ever was getting Luis G. To sign after a level A game in New York. He was still a 3b back then. Ball is probably worth less than $2. I've been collecting a bit recently though. My most valuable are on e-bay Tiger Woods auto card -$700 with Red Shirt Michael Jordan Upper Deck auto card - Bulls - $1,200 Michael Jordan Game materials bulls auto -$900 Ryan/Seaver NY legends auto $300 I'm hoping these will retain value, but you never know anymore. Seemed like a good investment.
Considering there WAS no Game 6 in the '95 Finals--nor was there a Game 5, for that matter--I'd let you pay me to take it. If you're referring to the '94 Finals, that's a little different...
I use to be REAL into trading cards and sh*t but I quit because I just couldnt afford that crap no more. I want to get back into it eventually though once I can afford it.
Ebay is the Anti-Christ. I waste all my money on there. My most valuable cards are: Yao Ming Ultimate Collection Ultimate Gold Signatures 11/11!!!!! Yao Ming Ultimate Collection Ultimate Gold Patch 11/50 BGS 9.5!!!! Steve Francis Super Jersey Patch Rc 3/25!!!!!!!!!!! Steve Francis Hardcourt Buyback 3/4!!! WOOHOO!!!!!
phislammajamma=AlabamaSlammaHamma=Vins Biggest Fan= Big frickin rip off! I know you got to be from CU! hahha you dont have none of those cards, you just rip people for it. same guy who claimed he was held at gun point for a psa 10 MJ RC... your a joke... on the other side tho cards are expensive... i stick to autographs from players in person and game worn wristbands! (My collection is growing by the season)
Been drinking before posting? Phi is a serious collector. I've seen him do some major damage to his wallet on ebay.
Yes, Sorry guys, I was referring to the '94 Finals against the Knicks, not '95. Made a mistake there...yeah the ball is from Gams 6 against New York.
