[@poncho_x4410]

Well he offers that price at first to begin with because he obviously knows that the seller is going to try and haggle with him over the price and that his ultimate final offer is definitely going to end up being higher than what his original offer was, ya know?

@ekimshield asstriks is worse. Yes black Sox was playing to lose for a reason, they wanted a salary that was fair so they stuck it to the owner. What the asstriks did was cheat everyone else. They "won" without deserving it. Both the Yankees and dodgers had a better team that year. Without the cheating they would have lost to both teams.

Imagine actually considering an offer of less than $1,000 after hearing it’s worth twice that

They were known as the "Black Sox" before they threw the world series. Owner Charles Comiskey charged the players to launder their uniforms, thus the players wound up just wearing dirty uniforms

Lmao they do NOT always call YOU down when they are suspicious about signatures!!! 😂

[@benknowbi3380]

The 1919 White Sox were actually these second highest paid team in the league that year. But their owner withheld all of the bonuses he promised them. Benching Ed ciccotte for five games so he wouldn't hit his bonus.

The black Sox would have gotten along famously with the brown Sox.

[@crypastesomemore8348]

“I know a buddy, name of Arnold Rothstein- let me call him down here and see what he thinks.”

[@edisoncarter1917]

What they said wasn't entirely true. The White Sox weren't the worst paid team in 1919; far from it. In fact, their overall payroll was among the highest in baseball. Part of that was due to Eddie Collins, the starting second baseman who had a degree from Columbia. He negotiated a salary that was one of the highest in baseball, 5-6 times the average. The rest of the Sox were paid average to just above average for the time, but many of them were far from average players. In addition to the two hall-of-famers in the video (Schalk and Faber), Collins would also make the HOF, and at least two of the suspended players were sure bets for the hall (OF Joe Jackson and P Eddie Cichotte). You could make a case for one or two others as well.

[@runeplate123]

Can anyone list the Episode that in the end the old guy says “NO I don’t think so!!! I think I’ll just take it home”

[@marklandreth2197]

This does not look like a 1919 Reach baseball. I would have questioned the "Compliments of Tony Piet" printed on it (he also signed it), Plus the ink colors are different. I don't think Ole Shakey knew what he was talking about. Piet played from 1931-1938, so even if the signatures are real, they were signed years after the scandal; don't know if that makes a difference, but it would for me.

[@CapAnson12345]

They ball was certainly signed years later, an actual 1919 white sox team ball would be tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands if shoeless joe signed (but none exist)

[@blockpartysaint2582]

I don't get it. Rick says someone will come in and beat him down to 1,400 for the ball. Wouldn't that be Ricks fault? You don't have to sell it at what your customers want it for. Smh!

[@ed4d195]

Block Party Saint Just like how the seller was free not to take his offer, he runs a business it ain't his fault.

[@davidmellish3295]

Block Party Saint it works both ways people haggle when they sell and when they buy,if someone is putting cash on the table and it gives the. Shop a profit they will take the cash

[@hatednyc]

The FIRST thing I noticed when they showed us the rule book was that it had white pages. It looks BRAND NEW. I thought he was tossing it into the deal as a novelty not as an antique. Any dummy knows pages yellow with time. Did the seller REALLY think it was an original 1919 publication?

[@tylxrjay4088]

Mr. Brown was in on the fix of the World Series, famously of course...

[@geomodelrailroader]

Rick needs to get a signature specialist with baseballs and memorabilia most of the time these can be forged. He needs to make sure that ball is not a forgery. 1930s balls are signed with fountain pins and ink wells if a felt pen or ballpoint is used the ball is fake.

[@luigivincenz3843]

David Petriuska who wrote the definitive book about the scandal (not Eliot Asinof) , and followed up by SABR researcher Pomrenke proved that the players didn't throw the WS to get back at "cheapskate" Comiskey. On the contrary, they were one of the highest paid players in baseball. They just got greedy and Arnold Rothstein, sensing opportunity to make $$, jumped on it. Both Faber and Schalk are in the HOF, karma for players who played to win instead of throwing the game. However, if Shoeless Joe was on that baseball, it would be $10K, at least.

[@mykeduncan1246]
