Hi I have many beanie balls of all sizes they are errors the sleeve says san pransico haskball clus. Before the were pulled from the shelves o managed to pick up two of the large balls one is still wrapped in plastic and several of the other sizes plus the key chain sizes also. Would you have any idea of value. I’m certain they are extremely rare since they are a regional thing. My friend was a sales representative for ty back when these came out he let me know that one his rout of the entire central valley of California I got the only two large beanie balls now I’m not sure if any were sold around san Francisco before they were pulled. But im certain due to the fact that I’ve never seen any up for sale. I think there’s a good chance I may have the only two. If you could give me your thought I’d appreciate your time.
