Yeah, I heard about the taxation thing and I couldn't believe it. OK, in this case IIRC the guy wasn't a fan of Bonds' team, so it wouldn't mean as much. But what if it was caught by some 57 year old garbage man who took balogna sandwiches to work every day for 37 years so he could still afford cheap season tickets. To have that type of souvineer would mean more to him than any amount of money. But then to be told that he has to suddenly pay $100K in taxes.
It's like when I thought about selling a pair of tickets to game 4 of the SCF. I had offers of over $2K for the pair. But I went to the game because to me, I realized that I had never been to a SCF game, and selling these would have cost me my chance to go to any of them.
