If it is just a baseball worth $5 he wont have a problem trading it to the IRS for another ball. Then they can destroy it, problem solved.
I would also point out that using your logic art also has no value because only a few people are willing pay millions of dollars for some canvas and dried paint.

exactly. it doesn't really have value to me.

as far as destorying the ball, no i dont think thats right either. it holds a value to the kid. he has the 756th home run ball from barry bonds. he can tell his kids and grand kids about how he caught that ball. now is that value monetary? or is the value, knowing that you were the guy who caught it?

hell if it was my ball i would sell that ***** in a heart beat and pay 200k of taxes for upping me 400k. it has no value to me, but i hope people are dumb enough to pay that for a baseball.

Such faulty logic.
It is more like winning a car on a game show, keeping it, and having to pay the tax.

The lottery ticket loses its value after the date by which you must turn it in has passed.

That ball wont lose 100% of its value within a year.

until barry pulls a chris benoit...

Trying to claim that just because something is valuable to a numeric minority and therefore shouldn't be taxable is a piss poor argument and frankly i expected more form you George.

The fact is that the thing has an incredible monetary value... maybe not to you.. but to many other people.
