Joey Meyer -- ahh, didn't he have that 1987 Fleer rookie card, back when they did 2 players on 1 card, like Mark Grace and Darrin Jackson.
Meyer was just too fat.

I believe it was 1988, But I'm not sure. My partner in our shop in Wisconsin(this was several years before I knew him) Bought up all the cards he could find of him, I think he was paying 2-3 $ per card at the time. He must of had 3-4 hundred of those! He told me he lost more money on that than the 30 cases of 1988 Score he bought!

Anyone remember Joey Meyer of the Brewers in 1988-89?
That guy was supposed to be the next Mickey Mantle.
Well... who's heard of him?
Struck out on an average of 1 every 3 at bats!
Yeah! Joey "The Flyin' Hawaiin" Meyer! LOL, he did turn out to be a bust. Last I heard, he's living in Hawaii.

Oh man.
I remember being in the shops back then and people were paying $10 per card!!!
That was crazy.
Ah the good old days. Glad I didn't buy any of those. :D :D :D
I remember that, as well. Brien Taylor was all the rage back then; a present day LeBron James hyped-up type!

Brien Taylor never got the notoriety Lebron got.
Lebron's high school games were nationally televised, everything Lebron did was news-worthy.
by the way, Tim --- ya gonna send me the Carson Palmer Press Pass Rookie card?

with respect to football --- I don't know if it is fair to say Ki-Jana was a bust.
He was a great RB coming out of Penn St.
Then he blew out a knee before the NFL season began.
It's tough enough to play sports healthy, but try doing so after a major surgery.
I agree with busts like Cade McNown, who graduated from my alma mater. I followed his career -- he was GREAT at UCLA.
but, when he came to Chicago --- his attitude was "...well, I am a first rounder, I'm gonna be the starting QB for Chicago, I've got money...."
And didn't bother to work hard.
Now, after being just cut from the Niners, he's trying to hang on. I would bet he's working harder now than he ever did when he started.

Well I see your point w/ Ki-Jana, But he was still a bust imo,
what about Mark Fydrich!!! Theres a Unknown that made a name for himself then just fell apart. Remember the hype on him half way through his rookie season?

Cecil Collins is now in prison. They said he would have been the greatest running back ever, had he stayed out of trouble.
