Ya I got their email, that's not bad for a 1oz proof 7500 mintage silver coin but its not a popular set of coins, I guess they wont be making many baseball themed coins in the near future.....

They have the gold one on sale there too.

or get all 4 in the set.

Even at this price, it is too expensive.

I don't like the design. When I first looked at it I was like that is a baseball coin.

I find the relationship between the Mint and CC&C interesting. CC&C is a representative of the Mint for The Shopping Channel. The Mint does not reduce their prices on their own website, but they will offer discounts on Mint products through The Shopping Channel, it almost makes me speculate if the Mint is using CC&C to clear out their items as opposed to discounting their items and upsetting customers.

For the RCM, that is just good business... you always treat your best customer (CC&C), the best...

Nice coins if you're a baseball fan, I suppose. What's next? Golfing? Football?

Olympic sports seem to be more popular for coins it seems...

Most coin collectors are not that into sports as most sports jockey types are not that into coin collecting...the two just don't seem to go hand in hand...

Would it tank as bad if these are hockey coins?

I think they pciked the wrong sport and wrong theme. How many people here watch the world baseball classic tournament or know it existed? On top of that, these are some ugly coins.

i was so excited to see baseball coins, but then when they released them and saw these incredibly generic designs, I was downright dissappointed. I'm the biggest baseball fan in the world and I didn't even buy these.

The RCM clearly struck out with this series.

Clearly they couldn't even get to first base with the designs and the the prices were at scalper levels for a Blue Jay's World Series game.

Definitely not a home run for the mint!

I'm not sure the Mint is doing CCC any favours by having them try to sell these dogs. Even at 1/3 off, they are duds worth about melt IMO.

Poor design, obscure subject and grossly overpriced. Three strikes, you're out.

Hockey coins from the RCM don't do very well, I don't know what they were thinking making baseball coins. It's not very often you can pronounce a series a dud right from the get go, but I'm pretty sure we all knew this one was going to be a dud.

YES THEY DIDN'T SPEND TIME TO DESIGN, AND JUST COPY THE IDEAS FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. I WOULD BUY IT IF THE PRICE DROP TO $40.
