Not a beat in the least. Todd McFarlane will pay like $4 million for it. He owns like every other mega priced record baseball.

He should just mortgage the ball to pay the taxes if he wants to keep it

Here's how the IRS works.

EV = (probability of him paying x)*x - (cost of getting him to pay x)

Cost of a letter stating the value of the ball and taxes he owes: $0.43 for the stamp + maybe $0.50/sheet for nice letterhead

P_pay: something more than zero

x: $200,000

The IRS makes +EV plays. He just has to make P_pay and x go down while forcing their cost up by hiring a decent tax lawyer.

I really don't see how they can make him pay taxes on the ball if he derives no income from the ball. The IRS can't compute 35% of sentimental value.

If I paint a picture that the IRS decides is worth ~10k, do I owe them $3k for the right to keep it?
