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.

It's a book with many chapters and, if you ask me, this is one big piece of the story when it comes to the last year.

That's how I'd describe the sixth item in this memorabilia series that's all about match-used and event-used stuff from Shotzi Blackheart and it's something legendary that I landed directly from the Indy God.

How? I ponied up and won it at auction via one of her Whatnot streams -- simple as that -- to end 2025 with one of my weirdest yet big match-used pieces yet, and it's one I can document every step of the way thanks to all of the online action in today's pro wrestling world. Why do that when I already know it's real? Just for fun. The research and verification of an item's use step by step always makes things more interesting -- and, get this, I landed this one-of-a-kind piece for a steep price that was still substantially lower than a 2025 Topps Chrome WWE hobby box. (Get your WWE cards here, by the way.)

What's the item? Keep reading to see all the details.
