The Item: Tom Brady 2000 Bowman Chrome Refractor (RC parallel) BGS 9.5
The Price: $19,499 Buy-It-Now
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Think this price is crazy? It is, but it isn't -- check out that link below. You should know by now that Brady has won yet another Super Bowl ring after Sunday's snoozefest in Atlanta and you need to know that his Rookie Cards are easily some of the priciest football cards out there in top condition and in slabs. This one isn't the flashiest of them -- other big ones have autographs and command much more cash -- but this is one (non-Refractor) that I managed to pull from a pack back in the day so it gets my pick here. The pop report for this particular version shows 28 others in this grade and just one getting a 10. Just 207 Refractors have been slabbed by BGS while mine is pushing 3,000 with 103 BGS 10s and two getting a BGS Black perfect 10. Some of Brady's RCs have been faked, so slabbed is the way to go unless you want to pay big bucks to chase wax (not easy to find anyway). He's expensive but there's no doubt that he's atop the mountain right now. Is he a safe buy? Traditional thought might say that he's too pricey to get in on right now, but when Brady is the top guy in NFL history there should continue to be more attention and speculation money pumped into his cards from beyond the typical collecting base.

He was a dominating goaltender nicknamed "The China Wall," a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, a four-time Stanley Cup champ and a Hall of Famer.

He's Johnny Bower and the former star for the New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs died Tuesday after a battle with pneumonia. He was 93.

"Johnny Bower enriched us all by sharing the pure joy he felt for the game he played and for the men who played it, with him and against him," said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman in a statement. "It was a personal privilege to know him, a delight to be in his presence."

What happens when the No. 1 overall draft pick takes the ice and scores a record four goals in his first game?

Dollar signs -- and that might as well be Auston Matthews' name right now. While the Toronto Maple Leafs center didn't touch the overall single-game record of seven from back in 1920, he did set a new record for a debut.

And all this means big things for his Rookie Cards -- or at least the redemptions for his first NHL cards. The 2016-17 Artifacts card above for example? It will cost you.
