200 Ben Grieve
200 John Olerud
250 Kevin Maas
200 Jerome Walton former Rookie of the year
400 Mark Grace
500 1987 Topps Will Clark
500 1987 topps Bobby Bonilla
200 Ron Kittle former Rookie of the year
obviously a band wagon jumper
had he flipped them after one year he could have made a mint
but here these duds were collecting dust in a closet
going for pennies on the dollar and with no takers .
MORAL OF THE STORY IF YOUR GOING TO LOAD UP ON UNPROVEN
PLAYERS with less than 5 years under their belts
GET A BIGGER CLOSET

Yep a cautionary tale. All these kids look great on paper and in Baseball America and in the Midwest League or whatever. But the reality is only 1-3 a year are going to be HOF type players when all is said and done.
