Somebody might have paid $2500 bucks for that pile of Gary Sheffield cards at one time.

For a while there, Mark Lewis was a big time prospect too. I'm sure there were a few unlucky individuals who invested in a few bricks of his '89 Topps. Jim Abbott too. Still love Abbot, but the card is next to worthless..

Kindling unfortunately.

Been there.

If you found a huge Sheffield fan that was looking to make a unique bar top I bet they'd be interested.

Yeah, I had a stack of Mark Lewis's. Taught me not to fall in love with High School statistics on the back of baseball cards. From the same set, Monty Fariss taught me not to trust the college statistics on the back of baseball cards either.

That entire era taught me that vintage is where it's at. I have no interest in active players.

I get the basic Topps set and any update each year, and have all the Heritage sets. Keeps the run going and keeps me connected to the game and current players. I don't do it for value, it's just a fun hobby for me.

But I am glad I never got into individual player speculation
