Re: "Disgruntled collector to sell Bonds memorabilia"

I'd hate to say this, but any guy that quits a very good job working as an investment banker to trail a baseball player around the country has a bit of a problem. I don't doubt that Kranz had the resources to do so, but why you would expend that much energy on someone who isn't even a family member is perplexing. To top it all off, he's now focusing on Brandon Webb. How the heck did he get to go to his wedding? I'm never invited to anything like that

Tim

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.

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"

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?

he said they were stolen (hoskins were unathorized to sell) he said they were his. the 1987 glove i purchased from someone else. that was a great piece with the photo match. that glove owuldv'e been worth soo much more......

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"

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.

THANK YOU FOR SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS. ITS HARD TO GET CLOSE TO A PLAYER. I DEVOTE MY TIME AND EFFORT IN WHAT I BELIVE IN.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

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......

THE BONDS ON BONDS SHOW WAS A JOKE....... THAT MEMORABILIA PART I BROUGHT UP TO EVERYONE WHO INTERVIEWED ME. I THOUGHT THE SHOW WAS A JOKE.......BARRY HAD FINAL SAY ABOUT EVERYTHING ON THAT SHOW.

ONE WORD FOR YOU-------------JEALOUSY.................
