    He's a perfect example of a high risk guy. TONS of potential, but not a lot of numbers yet to back up the risk. Of course he's too small to be a steroid risk, but he's got the dreaded potential label on him. He's going to have to produce in the next year or so, or his stock will drop big time.

    Football a better investment? Who owns a (true) Farve GU Packer jersey, or a GU TO's Cowboy jersey? The Fair Market Value for those (and others I'm sure) have dropped significantly, and this will be especially true next year when you can get a Farve GU Vikings jersey, or a GU Buffalo TO jersey, cheap, cheap, cheap.

    I can smell the bonfires in Green Bay as we speak.

    Maybe he should consider taking the plunge...

    I have always collected Mark Brunell. No dirt to dig up on that guy. But nothing suprises me anymore, nor should it suprise anyone else with modern day athletes.

    Me too! Good thing I sold his Red Sox helmet before all this started. I feel bad for the guy who got stuck with that thing.

    As noted, player value could go down before the steroid era: Eric Davis, Mark Fidrych, Fred Lynn, Gregg Jeffries, Keith Mitchell. Investing in player has always had risk, steroids or not.

    I stay with football. Not saying it doesn't exist in the NFL, but this steroid thing is killing the Majors.

    It's a total risk collecting anything from active players. Anything can happen from roids, injuries or tabloid stuff to kill your collection. I have tried as hard as possible to only buy stuff from retired players.

    So what do us forum members feel this does to the value of his game used items? I was in talks with a forum member about buying a 2004 game used bat of mannys. I dropped my asking price and am awaiting his response. Not real sure how good of an investment this would be now in light of the news.......

    I have just in Clemens over $50,000 invested and over $60,000 in McGwire. Luckily I got rid of most of my Sosa items.

    I am at a point where I probably won't sell any of my Clemens or Big Mac items.

    The ManRam is a shock and many on the Forum collect him. OUCH, I feel your pain.
