If you're a certain age, you may remember Little Golden Books, which are beginning readers' first licks at the literary world.

They've been around since the 1940s -- and are still around today -- but one illustrator has created a new take on these stories with a series of prints and a book that collects his past works all in one.

His name is Joey Spiotto and the Los Angeles-based artist is big on Storytime.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may be the most-electrifying man in sports entertainment, but his new line of Under Armour training shoes are giving him a run for his money.

They're dubbed the Rock Delta and the first wave of the shoes is sold out from the company after just one day.

Because of this, the company now has a second wave available on pre-order set to arrive in mid-August and for now there's a pretty strong market for the shoes on eBay.

When it comes to autographs in the sports world, there are plenty of ways that collectors and the autograph industry itself has helped commodify ink.

In other words, there are a number of common items that are commonly signed that help us all figure a common value that we'd expect to pay or expect to get if we have to sell something we own. Jerseys, balls, helmets, cards, photos -- there are a lot of ways to collect sports autographs.

In some areas of the sports world, pin collecting is a big deal and has been that way for decades.

Olympic pins, press pins and other areas of collecting in this wearable genre -- one that's arguably bigger away from sports -- can all carry some flair within their pieces, but none of them are like one artist's line of pins showing pop culture icons and carrying nods to sports personalities.

Its name? Patti Lapel.
