Join My Class Action Suit
Why haven't I been blogging in a week or so? Because I am hard at work with my lawyers building a people vs baseball steroid users. You are saying I know we have all been had by juiced baseball players, doing the homerun bash during wiffle ball games and cheering on the Sosa-McGuire home run battle. Well I am taking a different angle on this and it is going to be my way to the financial freedom. You can compare this scenario to the fall of enron. In Enron they cooked the books similar to the way these baseball players cooked their muscles. As a result they got stuck with class action suits from pension funds, investors, etc. What's interesting in that scenario after they paid off all the lawyers there was probably no money left for you and me. Here is my case CRAZY 80's BASEBALL CARD COLLECTORS VS BASEBALL ROID HEADS!!- I am suing for the lost value of my investment in my Barry Bonds, Mark Mcguire and Jose Canseco rookie. These things are plummeting fast - you could get about 50 cents on ebay for this crap!! Kids who grew up in the 80's are getting screwed. I bet my dad's 1986 paycheck on the fact that barry bonds was going to be the homerun king!! my 86 topps traded set was supposed to buy my first vette!! I was a baseball card freak and I dragged my dad down with me. We were going to shows, buying pack after pack of cards, buying every brand that hit the market.. fleer, dunross, skybox, upper deck, topps. Well I shouldn't have to bear this loss and what's different about this compared to Enron is that bonds, mcguire and canseco have money - lots of it! I'm gonna get me some of it!
I'm suing for the amount i spent on baseball cards as compared to if I just had my dad buy me microsoft stock. I probably spent 10k of his money. If we had put that into microsoft when it went public in 86, instead of buying tons of packs of cards to get a canseco rookie, we would have 2.5 million dollars (7 million during the internet boom) I am suing for 2.5 million. Can you imagine how the guy who bought mcguire's record homerun feels? Wish me luck on this and sign up in the comments if you want to join my fight. Lawyers are standing by to take your calls. I'm going to be taking it to baseball parks across america!
