It's been in a solid case (thick plastic with the screws) since the day it came out of the pack.
Oh, and I wonder how much BALCO devalued my Bonds rookie? :downspin:
I bought a whole album of Bonds, Canseco, McGuire and other rookies (including 4 Rickey Hendersons) from a kid who was about to sell it at a store in the mall. I gave him 40 dollars. There are over 100 cards in the album.

Actually not true (about steroids). What ruined their value was mass production. There used to be a couple companies producing gum cards, then everyone started producing collector cards and they all went to shit. Becketts was a total fucking sham because it would list a card being worth 50.00 that was still being sold in packs for 3 dollars. You open the pack, find the card and couldn't get 10 dollars for it.

Not worth much in a regular case.
Sorry, that pic didn't show up the first time. Yeah, that's it -- it's also in a hard plastic case with the screws, only it's red and has "SHAQ" printed into the backing.

One of my favorite players growing up was Darryl Strawberry, so I traded a rookie McGwire card for his rookie. Didn't seem like all that good of a decision for a while there but I'm more than at peace with it -- and it didn't hurt that I bought an acoustic from the same guy for $30 only to later find out it could probably fetch me over a grand, possibly 2, if I ever wanted to hock it.
