This sword-wielding warrior’s packs can include sketch covers, rare variants, autographs, cards and more in there.

A Kickstarter campaign to bring Red Sonja Blind Bags launched this week via Kickstarter, aiming to put premium pieces in collectors hands with a mix of five items in every pack every time.

It’s the creation of Dynamite Toys & Games and already has pledges topping $31,000 so far via more than 140 backers after having a goal of only $1,973 when it launched. That number was met in minutes, meaning this one will be happening and in the hands of all who back the project -- as long as they are in before its April 28 deadline.

What’s in this one? Keep reading ...

It is a new, smaller format, but has bigger collector potential than ever.

The Baseball America 2026 Preview & Top 100 Prospects issue is a power-packed 82 pages of info as it examines this year’s best in both MLB and MiLB and notes all who should make an impact this season. Gracing its cover is a guy who already is a big-leaguer, Detroit Tigers rookie SS Kevin McGonigle, and he’s one of many you can collect inside the issue.

What?

Nestled in the center of the magazine -- the publication is now a standard-sized mag, so it and its bonuses can be graded if that’s your thing -- is a group of four perforated sheets showcasing the No. 1 prospect for each MLB team as well as two notable newcomers signed from the international ranks. Several of these top stars already have made their big-league debuts this season -- but not all of them have their own MLB Rookie Card just yet.

For years now, autographed books coming direct from the publishers -- or direct from the authors themselves -- have been an affordable way to collect ink from notable names in all realms of pop culture.

It's not a perfect system with stamped autos, fakes and autopens sometimes in the mix -- a problem for publishers to catch as they are not authenticators -- but thanks to dedicated collectors on the Blowout Cards Forum and elsewhere, those problems often get caught and fixed ... or at least become well-known enough to avoid if it's an issue that goes uncorrected.

Getting ink in-person is always best -- book tours still happen, of course -- but landing autographed editions from publishers, online sellers or celebs themselves via their websites or other appearances are common.

Our latest subject and autograph in this ongoing series? A legend on the tennis court and future Hall of Famer, Venus Williams.
