"Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"

[ChrisCavalier]

Jeff,
Thanks for letting me know. I was too harsh on you in the beginning of this thread because I wasn't 100% sure of the circumstances. I understand now. It's awesome how you really get to know the guys and I think you picked a great player in Webb.

Hello Tim,

I think you deserve to be commended for admitting you may have been a bit too harsh in your initial posts. I think it shows great character to recognize and acknowledge you may have been a bit quick in your judgement and I respect you for it. Said another way, I think it is really great to see when someone "does the right thing".

Just my two cents.

Sincerely,
Chris

Chris,
I really appreciate that, thank you. I quickly read over the story in the beginning but frequently came back to this thread and saw what the story was really about and now I can't blame Jeff at all for anything he did. I do understand how bad the media can be at times about getting the actual story out. The story made Jeff seem like something he most definitely is not. After learning the facts, it was only fair to admit I was wrong.

This ended at little over $1,500. Is this what a nice Bonds gamer usually goes for now? If Bonds plays next year and does break the record, his stuff has gotta go back up.
Webb17.....Any idea what Barry is going to do with all his stuff he keeps of his. Does he trade stuff out with other player's? Is he a collector or do you just see him selling it off to make easy $$$ when he retires?

Indy,

This was my thinking. I have a Bonds rookie era signed gamer that I wouldn't mind holding on to for just this reason.

Jeff, did you think about holding on to your collection a bit longer to see if Barry breaks Hammerin' Hank's record? Were you happy with the Lelands results?

And Howard, didn't you quit your job to follow Rick Wise around for a while?

Jeff,

I would also appreciate your comments on Bonds items. What was your favorite Bonds piece? Can you share some of your knowledge on Bonds game used items? I'm sure you've had some interesting pieces.

Thanks,
John

there will always have value in his game used items, just like pete rose
i dont think he will break the record. in my opinion, i think he will be suspended.....

Barry needs 26 homers to break the record and might get another couple this year yet. I think that he will do whatever it takes to come back and break that record whether it be to piss everyone off or for personal reasons. I just don't agree with all the analyst that say he won't break it. He is just too close for him not to try and some team will sign him just for the publicity both positive and negative that this will generate as he inches closer to Aaron. I don't think that anything that MLB uncovers on Bonds will give them legal justification to suspend him and with Donald Fehr and the MLB players association behind him any suspension will be challenged and most likely overturned.

Interesting comparision. The big difference between Bonds and Rose is that Rose was not juiced when he played and all of his problems are due to his off field activities. It would be interesting to see what happens to the Bonds market should like Jeff indicates Barry be suspended.
