"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

That's one of Yogi Berra's famous Yogi-isms and Steiner Sports' current auction of the Hall of Famer's memorabilia includes one item that fits that saying well.

It's his driver's license.

More than 300 items from the collection of New York Yankees great Don Larsen are on the auction block via Steiner Sports but they're not all glorious tributes to the man who pitched a perfect game in the World Series.

Shaquille O'Neal took his place among the newest members of the Basketball Hall of Fame this past weekend and it's his shoes, which are now available via Steiner Sports, that show he's still one of the biggest.

A limited run of O'Neal's size 22 Reebok "Shaq Attaq" Pumps are available via Steiner and the sheer novelty of a shoe that large is a big part of the selling point.

So much so, Steiner also is selling them unsigned.

The helmet that Mike Piazza used in the first game after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks will be on the auction block and sold during an auction during the National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlantic City, N.J.

The New York Mets catcher and Hall of Famer's helmet will be sold via Goldin Auctions with 50 percent of the buyer's premium headed to a New York-based charity, Tuesday's Children, which supports first-responders and their families.

If you're a long-time reader of The Buzz, you may remember the Steiner Sports promotion that allowed anybody, anywhere to trade in a legit Cleveland Browns quarterback autograph from the past for a $100 gift card.

Buzz's headline back in January played up the Johnny Manziel drama -- sadly, it's derailed completely since then -- and but opted to take a shot here with a cheaper auto. Buzz picked off a Connor Shaw 2014 Panini Contenders autograph from COMC.com for just $1.99, had it delivered, followed the instructions from Steiner and mailed it in.

Buzz waited but never received a gift card -- as it turns out, Steiner had so many requests as part of the promotion that it ran out of physical gift cards to mail. (Those still waiting should email the company with their info and address they used when they mailed in their Browns item.) After getting the discount info, Buzz waited again to find a key item to use the code. Today was the day as Buzz spent a few minutes to check out the site after a promotional email, wondering if a worthy item could be found and searching the game-used section, entertainment section and even the clearance rack for the right item.

And then Buzz found it.

Steiner Sports knows that Cleveland Browns fans have had a tough time collecting autographs of good quarterbacks lately and the New Rochelle, N.Y.-based autograph and memorabilia company announced a new program Thursday that may help take away some of the collecting pain caused by Johnny Football -- and a few other notably bad quarterbacks in the team's past, too.

Game-used collecting has changed immensely in the last 20 years or so with the memorabilia card -- you know, those little swatches embedded into cards that can still get us going if it's the right player or an impressively designed piece of cardboard.

Relics may not always be expensive these days, but they can add some definite variety and surprise into packs of cards -- and partly because of the need for game-used items for cards it seems memorabilia has become more available than ever.

It's not always expensive. In fact, it can be downright enticing to chase jerseys of players who you might not see all that often on cardboard (or even like!) simply because there are game-used bargains to be found.
