Sadaharu Oh - Medal
We have a "the world's home run king official commemorative set" made by Franklin Mint in sterlin silver (0.925t), this was made only to order, the same medal was minted in gold (only 3 and were issued to the player, the team and the baseball museum). It features the slugger at the moment he marks the world's record 756th home run, the reverse side records of the title, date and the name of the stadium. The cachet in which the medal is set carrys signatures of the Giants' owner, Tohru Shoriki and the president of Franklin Mint. Also it has a brochure explaining about 756 home runs.

This belonged to a Ken Cottier (Aikido) who recently passed away due to lung cancer. His brother Ronald has been left all these items which he wishes to sell. Can anyone tell us if this item has any value? Or advise where we should sell this item?

Your help would be appreciated.

You can sell anything on eBay. And I do mean anything.

I know, but have no idea what this is worth so I need to put a reserve on it of some kind.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
