They are waiting on 1 thing. It’s to see if Barry Bonds can do the ultimate thing in baseball. He is looking to be the new homerun king of major league baseball. Right now he is at 749 homeruns, which is 6 away from matching Hank Aaron’s career total. He will need that 7th homer to have the record all to his self. Now what will Bond’s baseball cards do?

It’s not clear right now how much they will go up, but card collectors are hoping they double over night. I was a bit too young to remember what Hank’s cards did when he surpassed the Babe. Then again, it wasn’t like there was really a market for baseball cards like they are now. The prices have been steadily going up, but I think when he hits 756 will mark a significant increase in the market. I think I might try to dump my cards of him while he is hot. I think Alex Rodriguez will eventually be the homerun king that I go to my grave knowing. Arod is on a tremendous pace to be so young, and the way he is hitting them out of the park this year, there’s no reason to believe he can’t hit at least 800 homeruns. I’m not sure if Barry will make it to 800, but if he does it would be a low 800 number. Congrats to Mr. Bonds if he does indeed hit 7 more homeruns, and a better congrats to all those card collectors that have been saving his cards since the late 80’s!
