Per Tarina White of the Calgary Sun, comic book creator, Todd McFarlane says he has no regrets about paying $3 million for Mark McGwire's 70th home-run baseball despite Mr. McGwire's recent steroid "confession".
"Regardless about your emotional feelings about the subject, the 70 ball is still the second-highest home run total," said McFarlane who purchased that ball from the 1998 season at an action in January of 1999.
McFarlane also owns Barry Bonds' 2001 record-setting ball for 73 home runs, and Sammy Sosa's third place ball for 66 home runs in 1998.
"Until they say that I don't have the top three home run balls, I have the top three home run balls," said McFarlane.
Yea, I guess but it is kind of like investing in Enron in October of 2001 or buying a distillery in 1918.
Todd's gotta work on that timing thing next time.
