warshawlawThe steroid scandal is taking its toll on sports memorabilia. Did anyone notice that the Bonds #700 HR ball just sold at Sotheby's auction for $102,000, as compared to its $804,000 initial sales price? As one of only 3 possible #700 balls in the world, I would find this shocking (although not half as shocking as the first buyer must have found it--ouch), if it wasn't for the rumors, etc., about Bonds. This is in the same auction where a PSA 1 Wagner brought $132,000. Think about that: one of only 3 baseballs ever hit for a 700th HR costs less than a Wagner card that has at least 50 known examples.
