Re: "Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"

Putting speculation of what his stuff will sell for aside and all joking aside, it doesn't say much for Bonds. He just lost his biggest fan and doesn't think twice about it. Our heroes rarely turn out to be what we would like them to be, but I think this is really sad. It's not like getting turned down for an autograph or even hearing he was pulled over for a DUI or something, this is really major. Whether you're dropping 30K on a jersey or you're the kid spending $5 on cards at a small time mall show, it's fun having heroes and it's too bad Jeff was disappointed in such a big way.

David,
How did you know it was Jeff? I can't believe he's buying more Barry stuff. Must have OCD!

Re: "Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"

I was the winner of the Bonds HR Jersey and the Cleats in the Leland auction. I actually learned of the auction from talking with Jeff as I was out of the country for a few weeks. What amazed me about Jeff is that he actually doesn't sound bitter about Bonds but rather accepting of the situation. He knew what Barry was like but admired the talent the player had. His bidding on the Bonds bat is likely one of an investment move or maybe he just wants to see what the owner priced the reserve at and threw in a random bid.

As for he and Brandon Webb he was able to meet Brandon early in his career and spotted what he believed to be an amazing talent (for which I agree). He didn't just starting talking to him at a card show but rather he had private signings, etc done with Brandon and forged a business relationship with him. Many of us would like to do the same thing I am sure as we love the sport and would like to be closer to the inner circle of baseball if possible.

Re: "Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"

I remember a few months ago seeing an outside the lines story on Bonds merchandise. They did talk some about his game used stuff. They mentioned how protective he is of it and doesn't sell it. I think it was Bonds on Bonds show, they would show him signing his game used stuff and putting it away from the game he hit a home run in. They showed a little bit of his collection, looked like he had boxes and boxes of game used jerseys and equipment he was storing. They mentioned he has been keeping his stuff since college. If Jeff reads this, have you seen his collection of stuff. I kinda liked the Bonds on Bonds show, I hope they come out with DVD box set on it with left out footage. I know Barry had final say it what was shown, must be some other good stuff he would let out on DVD set. Another amazing thing from show, was Barry just lived in a small one or two bedroom apt in SF and there were 5 people living there. I know he must have huge off season home somewhere, but with all money he has made you would think he would have something better for the season......
