Its worth less because the achievement is less in the eyes of the public. And why is that? Simple! McGwire hit 70, and broke a record that stood for decades. Bonds hit 73 and broke a record that had stood for just a few years. Thus, less interest... doesn't that make sense?
Bonds' ball would be the one selling for $3 million if he'd been the one doing it for the first time since Maris.
