My 400th Bonds cards came from Ohio

I am on a mission to get 762 Barry Bonds cards; one card for each home run. I've gotten some help from fellow bloggers, and this past week I got help from a reader; Ohio Tim. 

Tim sent me 36 Bonds cards. I needed 17 of them. Almost half. Not bad!


These 17 cards take me past the 400 mark for unique cards. I'm now at 411.


Tim mentioned that he's not a fan of Bonds and I totally understand that.He certainly is polarizing. I remember going to Diamondback vs. Giants games and booing Bonds, but hoping he would hit a home run. 

If you are like Tim and don't want your Barry Bonds cards, feel free to send them my way and I'll give them a good home. At least until I get to 762 unique ones.

  1. I really like his 1991 Score card. The black borders and action shot are a nice combination. As for being a fan... I've landed on the side of rooting for him. I'm definitely in the minority when it comes to bloggers, but I just can't pretend that I wasn't entertained whenever he stepped into the batter's box.

  2. I'm a Barry Bonds pre-steroids fan. He was an amazing player to watch. He didn't need to go down that path. I have cards of his from the late 80's, into the late '90s that I like.
    If I find any I don't like, I'll let you know.

    Keep on collecting!

  3. Glad to see the cards made it to you, and that so many of them were able to make it into your collection. As I said on the note, I will set aside any more Bonds cards I come across for you.
