How much is an Albert Pujols game used homerun baseball worth? The actual baseball he hit out of the park authenticated by MLB?

Depends. Historic Significance? Team? Opponent? HR Number? Pitcher?

Matter if it's historically significant in any way

My slightly educated guess would be $15k+

To be honest, just a normal homerun ball without historical significance because that would be way out of my price range.

My completely uneducated self says no way to $15k. Unless as others have pointed out, it had historical significance.

If its just a "normal" home run ball, I'd think $1000-1500, maybe $2000 on the secondary market and for "retail" (i.e. a Dealer) probably $2-2500

Just my bit of information to consider that would have an effect on price - what team was he playing for? Im sure a cardinals ball goes for more than dodgers or angels...

Just got an counter offer on Pujols 574th homerun baseball where he passed Harmon Killebrews homerun total for $15k. Still out of my price range.

Oh yea, that one is going to be Expensive! (most his early Pre-50/100 and late, like the milestone, above, are going to get the most cash, a common one should get significantly less unless some REALLY rich guy is after all of them)

Seriously, how much of an uptick in price is there for a ball that puts you in 11th place? A top 10 ball would sound better, a top 5 of course even better.

I would answer whatever the current market is for a end of career home run ball add another $1000 to maybe $3000 premium.

There are 546 home run balls before it, there must be sales data on at least a few of them somewhere.

$500 at the very most.

250. No way it’s a 4 figure item.

If I was a die hard Cards/Pujols fan maybe 1k?

Otherwise 250-500 like some have said

It should be between $1000 and $2500 depending on the significance of the ball. A random ball pre-500 will likely be on the lower end. Goldin sold #574 for $2337 (https://goldinauctions.com/Baseball_Hit_for_Albert_Pujols__Career_Home_Run__5-LOT53165.aspx). The quotes in the 250-500 range are low. Authenticated home run balls are very difficult to get because unless the authenticator sees you catch the ball they will not authenticate it. For reference to those low quotes, I sold a Freddie Freeman hit single for $175 on eBay a few weeks ago. A Pujols home run ball would be much higher than that.

Bids are way too high. If this was the Price Is Right, I am saying $1!

Yeah I was going to say you are no way getting a MLB Authenticated Pujols HR Ball for $250

Reminds me of Andrew Friedman’s quote about free agency: ‘if we acted rationally on every free agent, we’d place third.’

Was it for hr#574?

99.9% of HR balls are not authenticated
Only if the balls lands back into play or into an area without fans will a HR be stickered

MLB Will authenticate balls that fans catch. Wander Franco’s 1st HR was authenticated. It went it to the stands, someone ended up with it, and security immediately whisked the teenage kid away. They authenticated it, then got him to give it up for a fraction of what it is worth.

You should join Game Used Universe and ask for their opinions. They'll have a better idea more than likely

yeah his 1st hr ball, but then you wont see another until its another big milestone, or it lands in the field of play. true authenticated hr balls are worth a ton

Yeah, we definitely agree on that. I can only assume the people saying it’s worth only a few hundred bucks are joking.
