First it was Ken Griffey Jr. With all his injuries, his chances to the Hall of Fame are getting slim, thus is stock is also falling.

Now, Mark McGwire is personally changing my financial portfolio. I collect baseball cards. I have two Mark McGwire 1985 Topps rookie cards. At one time, each card was worth over $200. With his appearance before Congress, McGuire's card is losing value rapidly.

In fact, on Thursday, the highest bidder got a McGwire rookie for a measly $29 on e-bay. You can buy one from Beckett.com for $129. Either way, I've lost at least 30%.

If this continues, my collection will be worth nothing by the end of the week.

Thank goodness, Barry Bonds, wasn't asked to appear.
