Pete C is correct in general about people being hot on the chase after a player's items when they reach a milestone or break a record. How else do you explain the rash of interest in a players items around the time of HOF induction ceremonies, etc. In general, people are sheep and they are not proactive, they are reactive. How else do you explain people hot after Ripken items even though their has been no secret he's been headed to HOF since broke Gehrig's record?

If this was anyone but Bonds, you would see happen what Pete C is talking about, but Bonds is the exception to the normal rule of things.
