MLB Auctions announced on Thursday that several lots of game-used memorabilia from past All-Star Games and other events surrounding the Midsummer Classic are on the auction block.
Up for grabs are bases from the All-Star Game, the Futures Game and the Home Run Derby as well as a selection of game-used baseballs from those events as well as the annual celebrity softball game. Items from as far back as 2004 can be had in the auctions.
For example, the second base (9th-15th inning) from the 2008 All Star Game seen above sits at $331 after six bids.
Game-used baseballs start at $75 with each of those available authenticated to the event or to a specific player in the Home Run Derby.
