Hence the "795 pieces of eBay" with little interest. @Tim-- agreed 100% about Griffey. @ Charles–Those images were added in during editing, not to serve as the examples for the lack of demand in interest in his collectibles.

Blame has to go to the owners, agents, and the game itself. Players in the old days had off season jobs to help feed their families since they did not make millions of dollars. If salaries were like they are in todays game, the old players would have been taking them as well. I meant to say you can’t blame the players for taking ropids to make more money.

If Griffey had taken steroids, he would never had missed so many gamed while with the Reds and would probably be over 800 career home runs. A.Rod should use this opportunity to help clean up the game once and for all. I hope he hit 45 or 50 home runs and puits all this crap to rest. Steroids were not banned when most players took them so can you blame the players for taking them to beef up their numbers so they can make millions of dollars more on their new contracts?

He is one of the best players to ever play the game with or without steroids. You can blame the players but I would blame the amount of money these players are getting for all the steroid use. If there was a cap on what players could make like $1,000,000, players would stay with the team that drafted them and would not take all these steroids. A.Rod has had some great years with the Yankees while not taking steroids so just how big of a part did steroids really play in his numbers? Lets just see what A.Rod does this year.

When we look for images, we first go to our sister site, GoAntiques.com, to see if those vendors have items we can used to illustrate an article. In this case, the items we found were from Rodriguez's minor league days. So that's why those particular cards were used; not to make any editorial comment about the value of those items.

You forecast gloom and doom for A-Rod's cards and the best two card examples you can use are two of his LEAST collitible cards when a Fox player? Right. So lets get this straight.
