Angelus asked in SportsBaseball · 1 decade ago

Should I sell my Barry Bonds baseball cards now, or wait until he breaks the record?

I have a ton of Bonds cards in mint and pristine quality including all of his rookie cards. How high are the prices for his cards expected to get, and how much is fair to ask for them?

    Well this is very risky there is always a chance Barry gets hurt and retires from baseball next season. But don't sell them now because his market is low. Wait until he breaks the record because that is a big thing to do.

    With retirement all but immiment (He's a Free Agent on Nov. 1), you should sell your Bonds card before he get's convicted in this scandal. Whether he returns to the Giants for one more season or retire, his value is dropping everyday and Hank Aaron is not supporting Bonds quest for HR 756. However, Bonds doesn't have enough in him with his health in question and 756 may be a distant memory. People will always remember Bonds hitting 73 HR season in 2001 but people will remember the scandal more (just look at Pete Rose).

    You should have sold them before he was implicated in the steroid investigation by the IRS.

    The man who caught Barry Bonds' 73rd HR ball from the 2001 season was smart enough to sell it before the news broke.

    Wait for the record. The record would add more value to the card.

    Hold them.

    They are depressed in value now because of the various uncertainties surrounding him.

    I'd be willing to bet that those uncertainties will blow over and that, in time, they will be very valuable.

    Babe Ruth wasn't the nicest guy in the world, but his rookie cards are worth having!

    Don't sell them now. Bonds' value in the market is weak. Once some years pass since the 'roids scandal, I think you will see a rebound.

    Definitely, no matter what you do, not only wait until he breaks the record, but wait until he retires. and if you want to be really patient, wait until he dies in like, 50 yrs from now. then theyd have a lot more value.

    I think you'll probably get more for them after he breaks the record, but as for how much, I'm not really sure.
