I bought a factory set on eBay 5 years ago. At that time the Bonds error card was booking at $300 (still is in fact). I paid under $20 so I thought it was a good price. Needless to say, I didn't get the error card, but there were two Bonds cards (and someone else missing) in the factory sealed set. 5 years ago, the Bonds card was booking at $20. I see its down to $12 now. What ever happened to that guy anyway?capewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028921297568214207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-34207052745475787622008-10-27T12:09:00.000-04:002008-10-27T12:09:00.000-04:00Thanks guys for your input.

Seeing a similar design with a different photo for each player was cool. (For those who do not know, the color scheme for the sets was based on the regular set from that year but changed somehow. In 1988, for example, they replaced basically blue cards with basically orange cards, but otherwise the same design.)<BR/><BR/>This was a precursor to today's parallel madness, but without all the ridiculous rareness of all the variations, etc.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644396308532248413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-34399616448457133142008-10-27T02:34:00.000-04:002008-10-27T02:34:00.000-04:00Baseball's Best was a product designed for retail ...Baseball's Best was a product designed for retail stores and was sold only as factory sets. It originally began its life as Opening Day in 1987 (w/ the famous rookie year Bonds error card) but I'm guessing Donruss just got lazy and ditched the idea of putting out a card for every player who was in the opening day lineup and just opted for a smaller version of the regular base set with no particular theme. By 1989, they had even ditched the glossy coating, but that set is known... I guess... for having Sammy Sosa's only 1989 major league card (as a member of the Rangers.)<BR/><BR/>That's probably much more than you ever wanted to know. For some reason I have a lot of oddball Tim Belcher cards.maddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493650721714521989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-25270317497621768512008-10-27T01:19:00.000-04:002008-10-27T01:19:00.000-04:00Thanks.
