The Card: Dr. James Andrews 2019 Topps Archives Fan Favorites Autographs
The Price: Moderate demand -- these might surprise you at first (first eBay listing here)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: It's been five years since this famed orthopedic surgeon appeared on his first baseball cards in Allen & Ginter but this brand is a natural spot for the oddities directly tied to baseball, too. The list of athletes he's worked on is meaty -- it's a big part of his Wikipedia bio and that's far from all of them -- and he's a team doctor for a number of organizations, too. Among the notables? Bo Jackson, Troy Aikman, Drew Brees, Terrell Owens, Roger Clemens, John Smoltz, Jim Thome, Bryce Harper, Yu Darvish, Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson, Jack Nicklaus, Triple H, John Cena and Shawn Michaels among others. (They all might want his autograph, you know.)Keep reading for five more interesting items in this week's roundup ...

Three autographed baseballs representing a cult classic episode of The Simpsons and a subsequent "mockumentary" of the episode will benefit the charity of a baseball icon soon.
It's all part of a Goldin Auctions sale of baseballs signed by those involved in "Springfield of Dreams" which aired last night as part of a 25th anniversary celebration of "Homer at the Bat" a year that also included honors at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
