This zoomed-in crop of a publicly available Getty Images preview photo taken by Lisa Blumenfeld shows four spots of wear that can all be seen on this Nick Swisher game-used SSK bat from 2012 that Buzz owns today.

Most of the time, your safest way to pick up a piece of game-used memorabilia from Major League Baseball action is to look for the sticker.

You know, the MLB Authentication sticker that has a code to tell you exactly when and where an item was used -- an ironclad way to know something is legit as it's stickered immediately after an item is pulled from play. But there are limitations to collecting game-used memorabilia.

Not every item that gets used gets a sticker -- and that's where you can find gems.

If you can take that risk and do the research, you can find an item that's better than stickered -- you can find pieces if you know how to photo-match. Not every item can be matched every time for sure, but that's part of the fun of collecting -- the hunt for the items and the hunt for images to show that they are, indeed, 110-percent legit.

You can keep reading to see the details this time.

It's a landmark release that's one big key to the luxury brands that we see today -- and it's a new entry in the Blowout's Most Wanted ranks.

It's 2003-04 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection NBA and we're paying $500,000 for a sealed three-box case of this one right now. If you have one, or if you have questions about Wanted steps, email wanted@blowoutcards.com.

This one is the home of several key high-end Rookie Cards and key autographed patches -- LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony among them -- and even some key cards for notables who didn't pan out like Darko Milicic. It's also the place where some of the priciest Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant autographed cards have been found, too.

How many might still exist? That part isn't known ... but there can't be many.

If you have one, email wanted@blowoutcards.com.
