Most of Bonds’ early cards feature the Pirates’ young star in a headshot, sometimes even gracing us with a smile. His first Fleer issue, though, shows Bonds in his “office,” giving us all a preview of the batting stance that would come to fuel pitchers’ nightmares for the next two decades. As with other year-end sets in 1986, Bonds was sort of an a...

Bonds didn’t warrant the Rated Rookiestreatment for 1987 in Donruss’ eyes, but he still got the head-and-shoulders treatment, wearing a black jersey.

What could have ...

Market prices tend to reflect this relative scarcity, making the OPC a key if you’re goal is to collect ALL of ...

Accordingly, the Leaf version carries a significant price premium in most grades. Value: $2000-3000 C...
Part of a 50-card update to the original Classic set that was issued in conjunction with a board game, this Bonds card pretty much went unnoticed for much of its existence.
