Todd McFarlane got off much cheaper this time.
The man who paid $3.2 million for Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball in 1999, bought the one Barry Bonds' hit for his record 73rd at an auction Wednesday for $450,000.
Bidding by phone from Dallas, McFarlane was pleased with the outcome.
"I knew it would go for a fraction of the other ball," he said. "I think we did well tonight."
With auctioneer Cathy Elkies running the sale, which was conducted by Lelands.com, bidding began at $200,000 and moved in increments of $25,000.
