I never thought I would say it, but Barry Bonds is three home runs away from breaking Hank Aaron’s home run record and he isn’t the most talked about story in sports this week. Heck, he isn’t even the second most talked about story.

Barry can thank the heavens that Mike Vick’s latest dog troubles and former NBA referee Tim Donaghy’s mob ties are both a hotter topic than Bonds’ home run chase and the steroid scandal. Bonds looks like a saint compared to these jokers.
I don’t think this means that Bonds memorabilia is going to skyrocket by any means, but I will say that I think his lack of being in the spotlight isn’t a bad thing for Bonds memorabilia sales and future sales.


There’s still plenty of time to put your guess on the Gavel Chat Mastro Honus Wagner card contest… Remember you will have a chance to win the 2007 factory sealed Topps baseball set if you are the closest to the realized price.
