The Six-figure Club . . . plus two
Sports have their milestone clubs -- 500 Home Runs, 2,000 Yards, 500 Goals, 20,000 Points. The sports memorabilia marketplace might as well have its own club, too -- the Six-figure Club. Sweet Spot Online has compiled a list of big-dollar items sold at auction. There are exceptions to this club, the seven-figure dollar amount fetched for Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball from the 1998 season and Babe Ruth's first career home run ball.
