The original art from an iconic story re-told in an iconic magazine will hit the auction block next month via Heritage Auctions.

It's a six-page story from MAD magazine issue No. 6 and it's Jack Davis' art re-telling "Casey at the Bat" in visual form.

"From the classic poem by Ernest Lawrence Thayer," the auction description reads, "the saga of the Mudville Nine and the mighty Casey are depicted in this story that was reprinted at least five times in other MAD publications. (Proving they were too cheap to pay for new material.) One of the finest stories ever produced by the Usual Gang of Idiots at America's premier low-brow humor mag."

Big names, big ink and a smaller than normal distribution is a recipe for a hot product with longer-term potential.

Some of the names on the autographed checklist should reinforce that potential -- Alex Bregman, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Brendan Rodgers, Daz Cameron, Dansby Swanson, Ian Happ, Lucas Giolito, Willson Contreras, Yoan Moncada, Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, Julio Urias, Kris Bryant, Kenta Maeda, Mike Trout and Trevor Story. (And that's just two of the checklists in this one.)

That product is 2016 Bowman Platinum, and it's initially billed as a Walmart-only brand doing well enough that it's now also available with 20-pack boxes on hand from Blowout.

He's not only overlooked on the field, he's overlooked on cardboard, too.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks took a no-hitter into the ninth last night in St. Louis but lost it when Jeremy Hazelbaker took him yard.

The result was still the same, though, as it was a one-hitter for his 15th win of the season, upping his record to 15-7 with a MLB-leading 2.07 ERA -- impressive stats for a guy who has just a single Rookie Card.

From the New York Jets to the New York Mets.

That's the headline this morning as Tim Tebow has been signed by the Mets to a minor-league deal.

The 29-year-old hasn't played baseball since high school and hasn't taken a meaningful snap in the NFL since he was a Jet in 2012.

But, hey, now he'll be eligible to appear on baseball cards. (The real question is how soon will they arrive?)
