I collect Barry Bonds. Now when I started collecting a friend of mine handed me 2 brown paper grocery bags full of cards. Well amongest all these cards were a Joe Montana rookie and 2 true Gretzky rc's and one rookie yr allstar from topps. The ones that have the scratch off pucks on the front. If you didn't scratch off the puck you didn't know who you had unless your a hockey nut.
Well I had one gretzky scratched and one unscratched. Went to a card show and traded the 3 of them back in the early 90's for a bronze Bonds and a box full of inserts and pretty cards. Even with Bonds homerun craze I could get these cards cheap today but not those 3 rookies. Especially the unscratched gretzky. I'm not a big fan of hockey and have never even looked at a hockey beckett. So whatever you do DON"T ever tell me what those Great Ones go for today! BV at the time for the Bonds roughly $275 though it was a big boost in my Bonds collection I won't forget what I gave up to get them!
