Barry Bonds signed '87 'Say No To Drugs' baseball card on eBay for $100K

A rare 1987 Donruss rookie PSA Barry Bonds baseball card signed by the player himself is available on eBay. What makes this card special — besides the former Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder's signature — it that it comes with a few words of wisdom, Say No To Drugs, scrawled across the card by Bonds himself.

The same signed card — which usually goes for about $125 — is now going for an asking price of $100,000 because of the ironic nature of those four words.


The seller, who actually goes by bonds_autograph, claims “This card represents the most unique and ironic collectible available for the polarizing star.” He also says the card has been verified by PSA. 




The price of the card — with a photo of the much-less buff Bonds and those prophetic words — soars because of the irony factor. But a hundred Grand?!

HA! bet this guy gets a $1000 best offer at best. what a joke.....

  3. The whole league was doing 'roids, pitchers and position players, and everybody knew, except the fans. Blaming Bonds for a generation of PEDs use in MLB is ridiculous...
