Rafael Palmiero Cards - Any future?

ndleo

It looks like Raffy is done. I doubt any team will bring him in for Spring Training.

What does the board think about the future of his cards? Values are hitting rock bottom, but he still has 3000/500.

Can he make a comeback in values?

ZERO value forever.

The jerk still says it was tainted B-12 from Tejada, his wife injected him, the guys puts the blame on everyone but himself. Expect to see him as a pro wrestling manager soon, or on an episode of the surreal life..........

I hope he manages a comeback somehow, jason giambi did it right?

Ooops, giambi actually admitted to using and became forthright at some point in there. Palmeiro has screwed up everything good going his way. He and Schilling sitting next to each other during Congressional Steroid meetings is a priceless baseball memory I could do without.

His cards (and I assume you mean rookies) would have never reached levels much higher than they were even if the scandal never occured. There are just too many of his 1987 rookie cards, let alone in PSA 9 or 10.

Well, speaking for myself, I'll never buy any of his cards.

I was at a Sun Times show in Chicago a couple of years ago and some guy was buying up all of a Donruss auto/jersey card of Raffy. It think it was limited to 50 and he had close to 30 of them. Maybe he can use those card to keep his house warm.

Someone should release a set of all the steriod users in baseball, it would have a lot of stars!

It will be a really warm winter if you toss a few Bonds in that pile of flames!

Tossed all Big Mac stuff i had in my collection in the trash this past summer after he took the 5th!! If you go dig through the Vancouver,WA landfill you can probably find some cool stuff. But it might smell.

I don't think I could ever throw anything out but I agree - the guy really hurt himself.

Who could forget how important, significant the race for the record was between Sosa and McGwire.
It put baseball back on the map - these guys should be ashamed of themselves.

I'm surprised McGwire and Sosa don't come clean and blame it on baseball - how the sport was failing in popularity - especially in light of the 94 season. They could say they did it as a service to humanity!!!

To me it came down to moral value's . I am glad for one to see Congress stepping in and taking control. And the Bill includes all sports not just baseball. Baseball dragged their A**es for years on this . 1/2 season 1st offense, 1 season 2nd offense, 3rd offense--out for life. I hope this includes any retirement benifits as well.

his cards were never worth much anyway, so I doubt this will have much impact. I think he's pretty much a common since 1987.

Not worth too much in my book at least

Don't blame the players, blame the card companies. Can someone name a player from the 80's to present whose cards are actually worth something ? Its not just Raffy's cards, its most players cards. There's just way TOO MUCH stuff out there. Period.
