MiLB Madness: A set with bark at the ballpark ... a spider, too
Minor league team sets are a fun anomaly in the cardboard world with some of the weirder cards ever made to be found there -- most without a single autograph or piece of memorabilia to be found. Many of those cards not even all that well known, either, but unique cards can capture attention and tell stories.
Don't believe that? Just ask Keith Comstock.
Many times, team sets can be made in super-rare quantities -- sometimes just a few hundred sets to be sold at team gift shops or even given away at games. You won't find their key cards slabbed by the thousands and you won't find people sprinting to the card aisle to grab and flip 'em on release day, either. But you might find them to be a fun alternative to collect until those days of hunting for packs and actually finding them are a little more routine. They aren't all easy finds, those MiLB sets, but they might not break the bank to find.
Now, with that said, check this one out ... our first MiLB Madness piece.
The Simpsons' 'Springfield of Dreams' autograph auctions to benefit Jackie Robinson Foundation
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.
Adam West's TV legacy goes far beyond Batman -- and he's got a variety of autos for fans to covet
The man behind the mask and the mayor of Quahog has died.
Adam West, best-known as television's Batman in the 1960s but recently found among those on the Family Guy cast for the last 17 years, had been battling leukemia. He was 88.
"Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans' lives," his family said in a statement. "He was and always will be our hero."
Fictional Food prints offer second look at moments & icons
Ballpark foods on baseball cards are fun (and coming soon from Topps), but Fictional Foods can be pretty cool, too.
That's the name of a couple collections from Baltimore-based artist Joshua Budich that can be found via Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles.
Some of the prints are sold out -- sadly, his tribute to Pulp Fiction's Big Kahuna Burger is already among those -- but other prints can still be nabbed by collectors and they're worth a look.
eBay Buzz: Bart Simpson keeps selling after all these years
It's a simple sketch card of an iconic character in pop culture penned by his creator and it's not even rare.
But it is pricey.
