Players or sets that were once hot but now are not

[pwaldo]

Post any players or sets that were once hot and were what everyone wanted but are now either ice cold or sell for a fraction of what they once did.

I'll start it off:

1994 Topps Traded #44T Ben Grieve RC

After winning the 1998 AL ROY this rookie card was selling for $25-$40. Does it even go for a buck now?

I know Barry Bonds RC use to be up there then dramatically dropped after the steroids.

Dwight Gooden '85 Donruss is one I remember. Hell, all his cards were hot.

The '88 Donruss Gregg Jefferies (or was it the '89) was really hot, too.

Not sure if anyone remembers 1991 UD Gary Scott RC.. He hit like .545 in spring and the card went nuts for about 2 weeks..

[spuds1961]

Kevin Maas and Dan Pasqua,good thing I didn't spend much on those 2 guys.

Brien Taylor, #1 overall pick by the Yankees in '91. He was the "next big thing"...and fizzled miserably after getting hurt in a bar fight. He's now serving time in prison on cocaine charges.

As a Tiger fan, I'd have to say it would be Armando Galarraga. He was an okay pitcher, but of course is famous for the Near No Hitter. I remember his cards were a hot commodity after that game a few years back, Now I think they're only worth maybe a buck if that.

I remember Eric Anthony and Todd Zeile(?) when they first came out in sets

also Phil Plantier

Ouch talking bout falling hard. Had everything going for him but just couldn't get act together
