ImageHe was the centerpiece of Topps' 2007-2008 marketing campaign. If you still believe in Greg Oden, it might be a good time to buy.

You can find basketball cards of Greg Oden wearing a Portland Trailblazers jersey, but he won't even suited up for a pre-season game this year.

His recent freak injury has left the 2007-08 basketball card market in a rough spot, at least in the early going. Topps, which put Oden on the front of its boxes and packs and created a marketing and insert campaign around him, is left to hope that other rookies it has in the fold become stars quickly.

As for eBay, HoopsWorld reports prices on Oden cards dropped fast once the news spread last week.
