Penny Marshall's collection was far too serious for her cards
Millions of people probably knew her as "Laverne" from her years on a hit sitcom, but Penny Marshall was a ground-breaking director who hit movie-making plateaus for the first time with Big and then gave baseball fans one of their all-time great films in A League Of Their Own, which helped tell the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
But people might not know that she was also a serious collector of sports memorabilia -- one of the people profiled in a book with lofty standards, Smithsonian Baseball. (Click here to watch a past ESPN video about her stash that's worth a look.) In that piece, she notes that the Baseball Hall of Fame will be getting some of her collection in the future and talks about her fandom, which went beyond just baseball.
Happy Days' Erin Moran signed plenty of autographs in recent years
Happy Days star Erin Moran -- aka Joanie Cunningham -- died on Saturday leaving behind plenty of questions as part of a mysterious tale of what went wrong in her years away from Hollywood. She was 56.
Unlike many TV stars from the past, she signed plenty of autographs for card companies that collectors can find perhaps more easily in than some of her regular cardboard and it all came in the last decade of cardboard that saw a boom in non-sports releases.
