Just heard on Jim Rome that Bonds maybe out until June or the season depending on how his knee goes. What do you think will happen to his cards? I don't have much into Bonds, just a BGS 9.5 Sportflic RC. I'm glad that I lost out on a Tiffany PSA 9 RC last week!

Much like Michael Jordan's first retirement from basketball in the swirl of gambling allegations, the theory will go that MLB and Barry Bonds agreed that in order to let the steriod crisis die down and to keep some integrity to the game and HR records, Barry agrees to sit out a season or two with an "injury". He will come back eventually and hit 20-30 more homeruns to pass Ruth, but keeping Aaron's record intact before retiring from the game altogther.
Once again, I don't believe it, but I think the theory will make the rounds.
I expect to see a ton of Bonds show up on ebay starting tomorrow.
Is he still a first ballot HOF'er? I think he will get in, but he may have to wait.
Bonds at 50 years old ^

I think this theory is not so farfetched.
As far as the value of Bonds' cards, I think they will go down since everyone was expecting him to blow by Ruth and Aaron. Number three is not bad but its not number one.
knew that he was found out and now he is trying to blame that on the media, of course its because he is black. None of this he brought
upon himself huh?
He knows without the juice he is just another 40 home run guy. I bet it gets to him that old fat whitey Babe Ruth still will have have
more homers and never took roids. Poor Barry, we all should feel sorry for him...funny, they all break down in the end...just be
graceful and bow out like Mac did...oh wait..scratch that

Sounds to me like his career is over and he's going to do the right thing and leave Ruth and Aaron's records untouched. It really would have been a sad day for baseball if he would have passed Babe Ruth, knowing that the guy cheated to do it.
His cards were all way overproduced, and eventually people will realize that they are a dime a dozen and way over-valued and they will plummet. Even those 86 Tiffany's, there are thousands of them, and the Bonds card is easy to find in high grade.

Couldn't agree more !!!
Maybe he needs the time to come down off the roids

I can see A-Rod cards having another huge run as people will start collecting his cards instead of Bonds. Maybe Jeter will also gain.
<< <i>Do you think that the collecting dollars tied up in Bonds/McGwire/Sosa/Giambi will drive the values of other stars? These guys card values may die, but people will still collect.

I had said this earlier before spring training - with all the crap that's being directed at the "overly-muscled" hitters, guys like Griffey could grab the spot light again.
If Jr stays healthy - knocks a bunch over the fence - people may be starved for a hero to direct their affection towards - and Griffey could be the man - if so, watch his 89UD RC climb again. This is just an idea.
We'll have to see if I'm the goat or the winner?

Bond's head is too BIG... He will be back

Bonds says he may be out until next season
He blamed his troubles on the media.
"You wanted me to jump off a bridge. I finally did," Bonds told a group of reporters.
WHAT A JERK....
<< <i>Though I am not a Bonds fan I expect him back and I expect a serious run at Aaron... might take a couple years but he will get close! His cards are garbage like most modern (anybody else have 1 or 10 '87 Topps rookies sitting around collecting dust!?) but I do believe he will be a first ballot HOFer. >>
1 st Ballot HOF with the media voting IE Sportswriters it will be a cold day in He** before they vote for him lol Just my 2c

Somehow, someway, they all found their way onto Ebay. I just sold my last 2, last week. I was even disappointed at what I got for them. I never thought he'd get injured, or retire, but something told me to sell them one by one. Now I have ZERO.
Beckett really pounded his GEM MINT rookies anyway. His BGS 9.5 Fleer was at like $1,400 not long ago. I just saw it drop to like $650 in the latest Beckett. Pretty sad.
I had one of the biggest Barry Sanders collections ( on my block ) that I was saving for like 3 years in anticipation of him passing Payton. I was going to bank when that happened. HE SCREWED ME. I guess subconciously I was worried that might happen here. I guess I may have been right.

If I ever get the urge to "invest" in RC's, I will first hire a thug to beat the crap outa me and bring me to my senses! That would probably be better money spent.

C'mon, Junior, stay healthy for a whole season! You had me dreaming for awhile last year.

<< <i> i'd like to see griffey step it up as well. however, he'll probably be the next major roids case to appear. >>
There is no way. Griffey doesn't power his HRs out, he lets that perfect swing do all the work. Although I may not be the one to defend him, because it was and is still my personal fav even if you have to wrap the guy in bubble wrap everytime he takes the field! I still love to watch the guy swing.
Holla!
All my Bonds are long gone...RIP Bonds!
Even if he does wait until next season, does he really believe the media will forget the whole steroid thing? ESPECIALLY if he breaks the all time HR record? Then, if he is unable to hit the HRs, he can blame it on age, slowing down, and missing the previous season...so then it will be time to retire in 2nd place.
