SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th home run ball was auctioned Saturday for $752,467, well more than the estimates by memorabilia experts.
Home run No. 755, the ball that tied the record, also auctioned for $186,750, including the bid and fee, according to Sotheby's/SCP Auctions.
Both final prices included the winning bid plus a 20 percent buyer's fee, according to the auction houses handling the sale.
Experts had predicted the ball that tied Hank Aaron's home run record would fetch about $200,000 and the record-breaker would be sold for least $500,000.
The names of the buyers have not been released.
