How do you grow a potato?

Potatoes have what they call 'eyes' which grow on them, these are actual shoots for the plant, simply divide (cut) the potato with a couple of eyes on each piece, dig a hole about 7 inches below ground and plant. When the potato begins to sprout you will want to fertilize and 'hill' them up. Hilling them is simply adding a hill of dirt to the tops of them. Potatoes are tubers and as such will produce their fruit underground. In the fall you dig all around the potato to get the new potatoes.

Does a MLB Mr Potato Head that has two different teams in error a Detroit Tigers hat with a Seattle Mariners shirt have any collectible value?

Only if the MLB Mr Potato Head is sealed in the package will it have any collectible value now or in the future. At the present time it will have little collectible value, and will sell as a novelty. As a toy from the 1950's for example it could have future value. There is not a large community of baseball memorabilia collectors that collect Mr. Potato head toys, and that will keep the value down. A collector of toys might have more interest.

The value of an item is determined by a simple formula. Supply and Demand. When the supply, the number of items available on the market is higher than the number of collectors in the market, the value goes down. When the number of items available on the market is lower than the number of collectors looking to make a purchase the demand is greater, and the value rises.

If the Mr. Potato heads were widely collected, the rarity of an error would make it valuable. If the Mr. potato head had a player endorsement it would also have a higher value. Hold on to it, enjoy it, and time will tell.
