NHL All-Stars were busy signing autographs during All-Star weekend. A LOT of autographs. The demand is heavy; the time is limited and sometimes the quality of the signature suffers. Yet they want to make sure they keep fans happy.
The Washington Post talked to several players about their own autographs.
Twentieth Century FOX Home Entertainment is releasing a 25th anniversary edition of The Sandlot next month and it includes a set of ten baseball cards created by Topps.
The Blu-ray edition will be released March 27 but is already available for pre-order.
The movie is based in the early 1960s and the cards inside the package are created on the ‘woodgrain’ border Topps utilized with its 1962 baseball set. The characters from the movie each have a card, including Scotty Smalls, Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez and even Hercules the dog. There’s also a new booklet with behind-the-scenes photos from the film director’s personal archive and a color poster.
There was also a set of cards produced during the movie’s 20th anniversary release.
