"Previously we've sold bats like this for $20,000, one for close to $30,000," he says. "I warned the owner that there was a risk of it going for $5,000 to $6,000. But some people are dumping their Bonds items because they just don't want them in their collections anymore."
Roger Clemens, who is currently embroiled in a he-said/he-said battle heading to a possible Congressional hearing, also brought in lower bids. "We had a game-used New York Yankees jersey from Roger Clemens from the 2000 World Series that sold for $3,586," says Allen. "That's a jersey that would have gone for $6,000 to $8,000." The seven-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher was, until the allegations surfaced, a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame.
