Barry Bonds Collector Selling Wares

Jeff Kranz holds a baseball glove that was autographed by San Francisco Giants' Barry Bonds, at his home in Phoenix Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2006. Kranz, a private collector, is parting with perhaps the country's best collection of Barry Bonds memorabilia, saying the slugger treated him poorly during a 2003 investigation of alleged unauthorized collectibles sales. "I can't stand the guy. He used me," said  Kranz, while talking about Bonds. Kranz began collecting Bonds baseball cards in 1988 and went on to build a veritable museum dedicated to the San Francisco Giants star. (AP Photo/Toru Kawana)SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A baseball memorabilia collector is parting with the highlights of his Barry Bonds collection, saying the Giants star treated him poorly during a federal investigation into sales of Bonds collectibles.

"I can't stand the guy," said Jeff Kranz of Phoenix, who began collecting Bonds baseball cards in 1988. Kranz also said the value of his collection has decreased because of Bonds' alleged steroid use.

The collection is being auctioned online by Lelands, based in Seaford, N.Y. It includes the jersey Bonds wore when he hit his first home run in the Giants' current ballpark, a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform he wore in 1992 and a Bonds glove from 1987 backed up by a photo of him signing it.
