The biggest signing of the MLB off-season so far is here on baseball cards.

The ink has dried on Shohei Ohtani's contract from Sunday but his marketing deal must be a tad fresher as his first baseball cards showing him in an Angels uniform are here.

That's thanks to Topps Now.

We all know that Friday is a big day in the film world with the arrival of the next Star Wars film, The Last Jedi.

It's a behemoth we've seen teased on TV and online for months -- and even longer in the toy aisles -- and now that we're days away from its release there's even more to potentially be seen and heard about the latest chapter in the legendary franchise. But, like spoilers, I've tried my best to avoid most of it -- all of the merchandising and marketing that can include everything from food to car commercials and then all that stuff in the toy aisle.

So, maybe it's just my situation -- it's a black hole of sorts I don't want sucked into because there's just too much I'd potentially want but ultimately don't really need -- but when I saw that there was a massive amount of sports-related Star Wars items in one online location I didn't expect?

Well, that's why we're here ...

The proof is in the pinstripes.

That's thanks to Topps Now.

TRISTAR has a new ace.

The Houston-based autograph and memorabilia company revealed its newest exclusive player on Monday night and it's Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander. 

He's not been a big signer for companies -- or for certified autograph cards -- in some time. The last time he had any substantial volume of signed cards was in 2012 and those cards were mostly still low-volume. You have to go back to 2007 when roughly a third of his certified autograph cards were made to find a decent amount of cardboard.

All that, combined with a dominating run to a World Series, drew him to TRISTAR's stable to help satisfy the growing demand for his ink.

The two newest members of the Baseball Hall of Fame were revealed on Sunday night and it's a relatively easy hunt for their Rookie Cards if you want them -- you'll just need to track down a 1978 Topps baseball card set.

That's where you can land the RCs for Detroit Tigers stars Jack Morris and Alan Trammell, who are Cooperstown-bound next summer. One won't cost you much and even can be found in bulk, while the other will be a bit tougher (but not all that bad) due to Trammell sharing his RC with Paul Molitor, a Milwaukee Brewers star already enshrined in baseball's most-elite club.

Since they're on multi-player cards, Morris and Trammell didn't appear on the O-Pee-Chee set that year -- that simplifies things a bit -- but there are still two other Topps cards you'll need to collect 'em all.
