Minor league baseball cards from the past can include some weird stuff ... sometimes stuff you wouldn't imagine to be found on a baseball card. Here are some some new fun cards and oddities in this latest edition of MiLB Madness. 

THE DUO FROM DURHAM
The Cards: Tim Robbins & Susan Sarandon 2024 Leaf Vivid Strike a Pose & Colorful Combos Autographs Clear & Prismatic Pre-Production Proofs (both 1/1s)
The Buzz On This: One of the favorite baseball films of many, Bull Durham has popped up in a few spots in a few baseball and non-sports sets from Leaf Trading Cards in recent years. These blank-back proofs are test runs for the series where this baseball set included autographs from some other baseball-related areas. There are varying colors and textures in play, so all cards are a 1/1 of that type but there are multiple versions. That has softened prices on these, but I like them and have picked up a number of them for very little. Why? I'm a collector.

Keep reading for more examples of some weird or fun baseball cards (and other stuff) you can find in and around MiLB.

LUCILLE'S DEBUT ... AND MORE
The Item: Negan -- aka Jeffrey Dean Morgan -- signature ensemble and action "Lucille" bat from Season 7 of The Walking Dead (AMC 2010-2022). Certified via AMC and Heritage. 
The Price: $10,000 opening bid (ends Oct. 31)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: According to Heritage, the full lot here includes a leather jacket, an off-white T-shirt with staining, a pair of gray pants with a "'Negan Hero' bias label," a leather belt, a red bandana, a pair of leather boots, a right-hand leather glove and an "action version" of the famed "Lucille" baseball bat constructed of foam rubber that is "expertly painted and finished to appear as a lathed wood grain baseball bat with a black oval-shaped logo and blood stains." This comes from Season 7, Episode 1, "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be" and Heritage says "Negan's introduction marked one of the most-dramatic turning points in the series" with this scene's game of "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" with Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) and Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun). There's no estimate for how much this one will go for but the full package (Click image at left for a closer look) could be a headlining kind of item. For those who want a non-stunt Lucille, there are a few up for grabs in the overall event, which includes almost 900 listings.

Buzz had a hunch, cross-checked the schedule and ... won again.

This month's ball in the Collecting Game-used series is another that simply came to me via a grab bag where all I knew was the date of the game -- and I specifically chose a game between the Seattle Mariners and Chicago White Sox back in May because of something that happened on this day this season. For just $35 (shipped), I added a game-used piece of Cal Raleigh's 60-homer campaign to my collection and the team may not have even realized it. In fact, I did this twice ... so there will be a sequel to this in a future post.

This wasn't just some ball used during one of the 159 games Big Dumper played this season -- it's from the game where he launched his 16th homer of his historic campaign and Raleigh handled the ball on all but one of its plays during its life in The Show.

Keep reading to see the details this time ... and the ball in action.

Here's this month's roundup of items that have recently caught my eye as a buyer ...

--

MY BEAR NECESSITY
The Item: Paul "Bear" Bryant autographed & dated/inscribed (Oct. 18, 1976) 8-by-10 photo (BAS authenticated)
The Price: $219 ... high for me but it's the perfect item for me
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This was a jaw-dropper of a find for me during a random search of Mill Creek Sports' superstore for autographed stuff earlier this year and I've saved it for football season, specifically this month, to present it and tell its story. It's personalized and that makes it perfect for me this time ... and to top that, the signed date -- the legendary Alabama Crimson Tide football coach and football icon who won 323 games dated everything signed like this -- might as well be on Buzz's actual birthday. (It's close ... close enough.) The odds of this existing or one being signed on my actual birthday? Well, I'm sure there were a number of things to sign on this Monday and I'm also very sure he wasn't sitting down to sign requests on a gameday when I kicked things off in the world. So, this is perhaps as close as it can get. The quality and condition of the photo are perfect and the ink is perfectly legible, too. Now, is his autograph really rare? Not particularly, but he died in January 1983 well before sit-down and paid signing sessions were en vogue for sports legends and he's still in high, historic demand despite Nick Saban equaling him and/or re-writing the Alabama record book in more recent years. It's the perfect item at a perfect price and it will always be mine.
Grab a box right here: Nothing for this ... but football cards are here.
