With a little time on my hands thanks to the long weekend, I've been perusing some current sports card auctions and thought I would share some that caught my eye for one reason or another:

<a href="http://www.thecollectorsgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/jordan.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-560" title="jordan" src="http://www.thecollectorsgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/jordan-215x300.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="300" /></a>
This is just a very cool card, and something that is unique to this product.Â* Notice Upper Deck didn't put a sticker auto on the laundry tag.
BIN at $9,999.00 or BO

These 1/1's are cards that DLP just got right.

I've never seen a card like this, and, like it or not, it's about as unique as you're going to get.Â* Rather than three separate autos cut from anything from index cards to magazine covers, Topps actually found a ball with all three autographs located closely enough together to put that piece of leather into a card.
