You may not know this, but I have a collection of baseball cards numbering in the 1,000s. They're mostly from the early 1960s to the mid-1980s. I have a few that price guides would place in four figures. But this Barry Bonds Rookie card must be the most valuable.
Someone showed this to me at the GAC meeting last month (whose name I shall withhold in case you don't like our shared twisted sense of humor.) I found it here.
Ah, the memories...
Actually, the first time I saw Bonds play he muffed a fly ball. Tried to grab it one-handed, tossed it to his throwing hand, and missed. If ever a franchise player was as little liked by fans as Bonds was in Pittsburgh, I can't think of his name. Ty Cobb, maybe?

LOL! Amazing how he's packed on the pounds over the years with nothing but diet and exercise!

"...nothing but diet and exercise!"
Of course. What made you think it was anything else?
