How much did Hank Aaron's 715th home run baseball sell for?

Answer 1

Good question. What I remember about that night in 1974 was that Tom House, the Atlanta pitcher that caught Aaron's 715th in the bullpen, ran to home plate and gave the ball to Aaron as a throng of family and reporters and teammates were around him. I have heard nothing about that ball being sold.

Hank Aaron's 755 home run baseball sold at auction in 1999 for $650,000 Other noted Home run baseballs sold for as follows: (year sold) Mark McGwire 70th Home Run ball sell at a record $3 million (1999)

Answer 3

A Hank Aaron signed 8 x 10 photo is worth about $60.-$150. Larger and more desired photos could sell for more. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. Add for inscriptions. Collectors will pay more for inscriptions like "755 HR" and pay less for personal inscriptions like "Good Luck Chuck" The Plaque has no added collectors value, as it is used to display the photo.
