I saw that baseball, and it is one of the nicest baseballs I have ever seen from that era. However, if it were "game used" it would not have sold as high because the condition of the baseball would have been degraded. There would be no way of proving that the baseball was from the "called shot" (or Gehrig's 4 HR game). In fact baseball historians debate to this day if the "called Shot" event ever happened.
The baseball would have to be accompanied with proper provenance, and if so the baseball would be worth a lot more than $23,000. without the signatures. Babe Ruth's 1933 All Star Game home run ball sold for $805,000. (The "called shot" would have put this ball to shame)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I agree any game used baseball would absolutley have to have come with some sort of provenance , back in those days I am not too sure if there was that kind of foresight so the chances of something like that existing are rare , but not impossible as you have noted, Ruth's 33 A/S H/R Baseball .As far as if the " Called shot" was actually called or not , that's speculative indeed , either way the baseball still exists and I can't help but dream and wonder who has that baseball .Without question , that baseball would sell for a boat load .As far as my baseball , I believe it was hit in a game , there are some strange markings right below Pipgras's signature as if the baseball did take a ride , but I have no way of proving anything .That baseball is the finest I have ever seen as well , I know someone is really happy to own it .I'm glad someone out here saw that auction , I almost feel famous now .Wait until they see my Single Signed Ruth coming up , it's a mind blower !
