Baseball card prices of legendary stars have always held their own. But the steroid business has just about broke the value of many sports cards, for instance Barry Bonds. Without accusing anyone of any wrong doing, the proof in the declining prices is just cause for many sports card investors and collectors to dump these cards, at any reasonable price.

With plenty of graded 1987 Fleer Glossy Barry Bonds baseball cards, you can expect to pay in the area of $150.00 for a BGS 9.5 (Gem Mint) or a PSA 10. The eBay listings are plenty.

Other Future Hall of Fame players like Mike Piazza, also hold some type of decent price for his respective baseball cards. But all of this Hall Of Shame business has clouded the future of many of this years class and their path to the eventual entry into the Hall of Fame.

Mike Piazza has a new tell all book that is coming out called “Long Shot” The co-author of Mike Piazza’s autobiography said Thursday that the former Dodgers and Mets catcher will address the questions and rumors of steroid use in the soon-to-be-released book. After reading the book, they believe that many people will believe that Mike never used any performance enhancing drugs.

Recently on ESPN, one of the largest baseball card collectors of Mike Piazza sports cards in a Florida Marlins uniform around. With over 100 pieces in this collection, it is truly an impressive collection of Mike Piazza, given that he spent all of four days as a Marlin in 1998.

Collecting sports cards is something that should be done, not as a business but more as loyalty to sports figures worldwide. Unfortunately cheating has killed fans in every aspect of the sports world, collecting included.
