Framed to 18" x 21", this Balco made up "Creating Champions" advertisement features Giants slugger Barry Bonds, who has the signed it in silver ink. A rare piece, ironic in that Balco is the laboratory that created and marketed the steroid-laced "sports cream" that Bonds used during his assault on the home record, with Bonds now denying that he knew that there were performance-enhancing steroids in the cream - "Creating Champions" indeed. The clear signature has a tiny smudge and grades a 9 overall. Accompanied by a LOA from Jimmy Spence of PSA/DNA, a Bonds certificate and a photo of Bonds signing the piece.
