Over the past year, many who have invested in Arod have been holding onto their stuff, waiting to see what Arod does this year. I think If Arod plays well and gets hot atsome point, many will try to sell while the interest is high, especially consideringwho knows what will happen later in the season or even next year. It won’t be long before the market is floodedwith even more Arod stuff. I think the trulyrare items will do ok, but I don’t see a lot of his stuff selling for highdollars or even maintaining a high value.

For those who are loyal Arod fans and collectors, they will most likelycontinue to collect, but not sure if they are willing to pay high dollar forhis stuff, with so many unknowns on how long he will even still play.

Future investment potential just isn’t there, like in the past. Once Arod is gone from baseball, it will beeven more difficult to sell his stuff. He’s not a future Hall of Famer, still not liked by many, and theinterest just won’t be there.
