NHL social pioneer Willie O'Ree gets Hall of Fame call
There's just one wax box you need to find to land both the Rookie Card and the first certified autograph of one of the newest members of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
He's Willie O'Ree and the set is 1997-98 Pinnacle BeeHive -- a release that came decades after his brief playing career ended. He played just two seasons for the Boston Bruins -- two games in 1957-58 and 43 in 1960-61 -- making him the first black player in NHL history. He had four goals and 10 assists in his second season.
His call to the Hall of Fame came Tuesday when he was announced as being a member of this year's class alongside Martin Brodeur, Martin St. Louis, Jayna Hefford, Alexander Yakushev and Commissioner Gary Bettman. O'Ree's honor comes in the category of being a "builder" of the game as he's worked as the NHL's Diversity Ambassador for the last 20 years.

NSCC signers: Whose autograph would you pick first?
This year's National Sports Collectors Convention is a couple of months away and thanks to its non-traditional location -- Atlantic City, N.J. -- there are perhaps a few more guests on tap that we've not expected to see at the annual show.
It's been a long time since the show was last in New Jersey -- it's largely been located in the Midwest for most of the last decade -- so regional autograph guests such as Hideki Matsui and countless others who wore pinstripes and starred for other teams in that area make sense. They'll also help draw in locals who might not normally hit the show ... just to get that ink.
Autograph ticket pricing for the show will come soon, but Buzz has picked seven top names that may not break the bank -- one per sport -- at the show.
