1987 Barry Bonds Rookie Card #320

This 1987 Barry Bonds rookie card  is not the greatest looking card produced, but it is his rookie card. These can be had pretty cheap these days, 5 to 15 bucks. Some will try to sell these for 1,000 and up graded, don’t fall for it. Barry Bonds unfortunately has had his career tarnished due to steroid controversy.

He is the major league baseball home run record holder, but there will always be an asterisk next to that number of 762 HR’s *.

Bonds was a central figure in the 2007  BALCO  steroids hearings.  He was indicted on perjury and obstruction of justice.  He was convicted on April of 2011 for the obstruction charge.

Did he or didn’t he? Either way his chances at this point for making the hall of fame are slim to none. Nearly 95% of the baseball writers agree they would not vote for him.

Love or hate him, he has had a great career: 762 HR’s * 1996 RBI .298 BA.
