The 1/1 Wander Franco Platinum parallel should bring at least a strong five-figure price and the collector who opened the lucky box says it’s for sale “at the right price.”

Another nice hit came out of Caldwell, TX where this 1/1 2019 Topps Icons Vladimir Guerrero Silhouetted MLB Logo rookie card was pulled.

Remember the terrible floods in North Dakota back in 1997? One story that generated national headlines was a young boy who lost his baseball card collection. 

That boy grew up to be a writer and he this week, he recalled the massive outpouring of support he received from across the country after the story appeared in newspapers.

On the Collectable Daily podcast this week, we chatted about how new or reengaged collectors can get frustrated with the mountain of rookie cards and why older cards are easier to understand.

Also on the table:  the conundrum between making cards readily available to the masses vs. maintaining value and putting “comps” in perspective. You can listen below:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Champlain Port of Entry Cargo facility in New York seized a shipment of National Hockey League Stanley Cup Championship rings, due to trademark violations.

Earlier this month, a shipment that was selected was seized after officers determined the contents to be counterfeit Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup Championship rings from 1936.

A total of 10 rings were seized by CBP as they violated Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of the Detroit Red Wings trademark.  IPR violations pertain to products that infringe upon U.S. trademarks, copyrights, and patents.
