Clothing designer Marc Ecko. I tried to contact Mr. Ecko a few minutes ago and will let everyone know if I hear from the man.

Not sure if he is a collector or not, but he paid more than $750K for the ball. It doesn’t look like he plans on keeping it either. CLICK HERE to view his website where you can vote on what you would like to see done with the spherical piece of history.

You have three choices:
-    Send the ball to Cooperstown
-    Brand it with an asterisk and then send it to Cooperstown
-    Send it to the moon

Send it to the moon, hey? LOL… That’s a new one… I kind of hope the ball ends up in Cooperstown without the tattoo, but I have a feeling it may end up getting launched on the rocket. Either way, it will be interesting. Hope I get to ask Ecko his thoughts on it.


Leave it to OJ Simpson to top sports memorabilia headlines for the weekend. Turns out The Juice and some armed, thug buddies of his crashed a potential auction consignor’s party at a hotel in Vegas to try and get some of his stolen pieces back.

What ever happened to simple, nonviolent communication? OJ still may be innocent of all the charges on this one, but if you listen to the audiotape of the altercation, it doesn’t sound very good for the Hall of Famer. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO TAPE

This story has quite the auction correlation as well… Turns out that Universal Rarities owner, Tom Riccio, was the man who provided the audiotape to TMZ.com and who also tipped Simpson off that some of his memorabilia was being peddled without his consent.

I wonder if some of the memorabilia in the hotel room were the infamous “non-fitting” gloves.
