Start of press release from Topps:

As Barry closes in on the Babe and Hank, Topps will be there every step of the way, as it has been since the release of his rookie card in 1986. Now, collectors can join Topps as it chronicles history in the making.

Beginning with the just-released 2005 Topps Series 2, Topps celebrates Barry Bonds' historic career and home run chase by commemorating each and every one of his blasts in a unique set called "Home Run History". It's the ultimate Bonds collection!

Wow .. that's a big investment for a player rumored that he might not play again due to the fact he can't cope with the more stringent drug policy.

What to you think the volume will be on the Barry bonds only card trading site ?

Clearly this was in the works well before the steroid scandal hit.

Only time will tell with this one...Barry returns, this is a hit. If he doesn't, well...ouch wink.gif

Yes, Topps certainly found themselves in a different situation than they originally expected when they worked out the deal with Bonds. Between the steroids issue and his injury, there's not quite the anticipation that would have been expected for this season.

With that said, my guess is that the Bonds cards will still do quite well. If you like Bonds, then any of the special cards related to his HR accomplishments should be nice to collect.

It will also be very interesting to see what type of trading system Topps provides through the site. If they use some of what they have on eTopps, it could be another step toward having better online trading tools. wink.gif

Has anyone else looked at the Bonds Trading Forum that Topps now has up and running (click here to see it)? If so, what do you think? Have you made any trade offers?
