Collecting Game-used: Getting a little more than advertised
It's the little things ...
I'm nearly at the end of my dozen game-used balls I picked up long ago from the Phillies -- hard to pass 'em up at $10 apiece with BallQubes -- and this one has been at the bottom of the box awaiting its Collecting Game-used turn with a pair of veterans attached here and more than one pitch in an at-bat, too, as part of one player's first full season in The Show.
Is it a win? For the price, sure, but only one of the two is probably a "collector" name now ... and certainly not to the degree that he might have once been, though he has a World Series ring.
Keep reading to see the details this time ... and the ball in action.
