Re: "Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"
Hi Jeff,
That's a sweet Bonds glove and jersey you auctioned. How did you obtain them? Did Bonds deny they were his? Did you keep anything from Bond's, or sell it all?

Re: "Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"
Jeff,
That's cool. I think you picked a great player in Brandon Webb. I didn't realize you were behind the Webb hologram items. I saw a game used vest of his on Grey Flannel about a year or two back and was wondering if you had any jerseys of his for sale. I collect starting pitcher's jerseys and have been looking for his.
Thanks,
Tim

Re: "Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"
While some people (particularly athletes) might see Jeff's behavior as "stalking," others like myself would view it as someone who recognized Bonds' athletic abilities to be so superior that a guy like Bonds is so self indulged he just can't comprehend it. I have been a collector of Dave Kingman memorabilia and equipment since I was a kid and am now an adult. There are probably those that wonder why I go to such great lengths to acquire this guy's stuff (and I am sure Dave does too...). I have known him personally since 92 and find him to be a very nice, family man. Still private, I limit how and when I look him up out of respect and do not ask for anything. Sure, I could hit him up for auto's, etc., but somehow I do not think it would go over well - he is not a Barry Bonds type of guy.
I give Jeff credit for having passion for the game. I love it and it takes my mind off my troubles. Most athletes have the gift of their abilities and just can't see what they have or appreciate it. Dave is modest and really does not get too involved about reminising about his career. I find it sad that he does not share the stories - but that is his right and I respect that. I am married with 2 kids and have a great life, have other collecting interests besides Kingman, and when I see him and get stuff signed - always enjoy the look on his face as he wonders where I got this stuff at. Do I think I will get out of it $$ what I have in? Not a chance, and that is not what it is about anyway. If you are in the hobby for that reason - you WILL be disappointed...

Re: "Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"
i didn't leave my job to follow him around. the press changes wrods around. i was fried to my job and decided to leave that line of work. i met through his agent that i knew for years. when i quit collecting bonds i tried to find a new player that i can follow and collect. i became friends with webb just like i do with most people that deal with me.

Jeff-
I'm wondering what you think about the press your situation has gotten.
Thanks
