Top 25 Most Popular Baseball Players On eBay
Below is a look at the the most listed baseball players on the world's largest secondary market, eBay. The final total for each player includes all sports memorabilia and collectibles associated with that player currently being sold on eBay. The players on this list essentially made it for one of two reasons, either they are extremely popular or extremely unpopular.
From autographed jerseys to baseball cards, Cal Ripken Jr. is baseball's king of eBay. The Yankees were the most prevalent team, with seven players making the list who at what time or another dawned the Yankee pin stripes. When it comes to pitchers, no one comes close to rivaling the popularity of the great Nolan Ryan.
Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Mark McGwire all made the list in spite of steroid abuse. The most likely reason for this is the amount of people trying to "dump" their "Steroid Era" collectibles. At the same time the list is well represented by contact hitters like Tony Gwynn, Ichiro, and Derek Jeter. This suggests that baseball fans are putting more stock into the base hit than ever before.
