WTF?? $500,000 for a baseball - GoFuckYourself.com

Todd McFarlane bought Barry Bond's 73rd homer baseball for over $500,000.00 at auction today. Same guy who paid $3.2 Mil for Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball in '99.

Fuck $4 Mil for two baseballs. That seems even nuttier than paying $50 Mil for an oil painting.

Money warps peoples minds. It really does.

He also bought Samy Sosa's ball

thats what i call protecting your investment.

doesnt he make money by displaying the balls at the Hall of Fame and where ever else he lends it to.

I didn't even think he had $500,000 anymore. No one buys comics, his toy sales must have dropped majorly since less geeks have jobs and money. Then he sold out Spawn to the movies to early and had that horrible one that came out like 6 years ago.
