No one baseball player has had his rookie baseball card price sway more in the last 50 years then Barry Bonds, not only sway, but become one of the most unwanted. Granted his swaying was created by the mere notion that he cheated, and we happen to know it to be true.

I know that there are plenty of us out there that were left holding the bag with his cards. I know that I have at least 10 1987 Fleer Glossy sets, and at least 50 of the other variety of his cards to include the 1987 Topps, and 1987 Donruss. Heck we can’t even blame the country’s recession or the crippling stock market for this deflating, we can only blame steroids and stupid judgment.

Even with the recession on going, and no one wanting to pay the baseball card price for such a card, I would still feel a whole bunch better, if the graded BGS 9.5 1987 Barry Bonds Fleer Glossy was still worth $250.00 and no one had the money to buy it.  Instead you have to put it up for $48.00 dollars and no one will even look at it. We all know that Ken Griffey Jr. did not live up to our expectations of what we thought he would eventually become, which was the home-run king! But in a few years I am pretty sure, that once he is removed from the game for at least two years, and by the way his stats won’t have any question marks, his rookie card baseball card price will have a steady climb upwards, where Mr. Barry Bonds, will probably be bottom fishing in the Potomac river.

Still collecting baseball cards is the funnest thing that I do.  There are way too many baseball players out there to worry about Barry Bonds and his disgraceful legacy.  Just to name a few from this year alone are  Stephen Strasburg (Washington Nationals), Ike Davis (NY Mets), both of which are making an impact with their respective teams so far.  Keep on collecting!
