power hitter who surpassed Hank Aaron last year to become the home run king was charged with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice after a four-year investigation by federal prosecutors. If found guilty, he could serve a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison along with countless hours of community service, probation, and fines. He is just one of several elite U.S. athletes who are being sought for questioning about their involvement with BALCO, the company responsible for the production and distribution of an untraceable steroid known as “the clear.” It is unknown at this time how the allegations will affect his baseball card's value. I personally believe that his sports memorabilia, especially the autographed ones, will rise in value, not because of the record that he set, but because of the infamy that will forever surround the era he rose in. He could very well be the proverbial figurehead in the record books of the darkest moment in baseball history.

Barry Bonds Memorabilia Value In Question
The saga of Barry Bonds took another turn last Thursday. The Giants' power hitter who surpassed Hank Aaron last year to become the home run king was charged with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice after a four-year investigation by federal prosecutors. If found guilty, he could serve a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison along with countless hours of community service, probation, and fines. He is just one of several elite U.S. athletes who are being sought for questioning about their involvement with BALCO, the company responsible for the production and distribution of an untraceable steroid known as “the clear.” It is unknown at this time how the allegations will affect his baseball card's value.
