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

BROADWAY JOE
The Item: Joe Namath autographed 16-by-20 Sports Illustrated "Broadway Joe" cover photo (BAS witnessed)
The Price: $249
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: I don't normally include the actual price when I make a bigger buy, but in this case a sale price was too strong for a piece so nice ... so I am. Why? A typical price for an item like this is substantially higher than what I paid (around $400-600) and peak asking prices are sometimes even nuttier than the normal range. This was my big Black Friday buy and I landed it via Mill Creek Sports (this is their scan as I struggled to photograph mine thanks to size/glare on my top-loader) and one reason why I grabbed it (beyond the price) was that I liked this horizontal version of the photo and its autograph placement infinitely more than the vertical version. Atop that, it's also a piece where I had a chance to land one for just $150 long ago at The National but I didn't as I didn't have a way to safely get it home. This is the iconic photo that led to the nickname for the eventual Super Bowl winner and icon who helped change the game forever. He turns 83 this year, too, and I don't think demand will lessen over time.

CASSELBERRY, Fla. — Big League Cards announced Wednesday evening that it is retracting its previously announced $100,000 bounty for a 1/1 Superfractor autograph card in the 2025 Topps Chrome Labubu 10th Anniversary set.

Unfortunately, Big League had the wrong interpretation of the product configuration. Upon further review, it has been determined that Superfractor autographs do not exist in this set. No autographed Superfractor versions are available in this product.

“As soon as this inaccuracy was brought to our attention, we took immediate steps to correct it,” said Alan Narz, owner of Big League Cards. “We sincerely apologize for any confusion or excitement caused by our original announcement. Our intention was to celebrate this unique and exciting release in the world of modern collectibles, but we regret the error in the specifics of the chase card.”

Big League Cards remains very enthusiastic about the 2025 Topps Chrome Labubu 10th Anniversary set and encourages collectors to explore its vibrant parallels, limited autographs, and innovative keyring display cases.

For questions or more information, please contact Big League Cards at (407) 834-2273 or email info@bigleaguecards.com.
