Wayne Gretzky
7. Wayne Gretzky 
Wayne Gretzky, nicknamed "The Great One", is arguably the most famous hockey player of all time (most agree he is the best hockey player of all time). Outside of hockey, Gretzky has become infamous for his inspirational quote: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take". Wayne Gretzky set 61 NHL scoring records through his 21 year career.

Bobby Orr
8. Bobby Orr 
Bobby Orr was a star when they played the National Anthem in his first game. His display of end-to-end rushes and his mastery on the point changed the way offense was generated (and how defenses would cover them). He was simply the most skilled player the NHL has ever seen.

Collection Highlights: 1966 Topps USA Test #35 Bobby Orr RC PSA 6, 1967 General Mills Hand Cut Bobby Orr (signed), 1972 O-Pee-Chee #58 Bobby Orr PSA 8, 1972 Topps #100 Bobby Orr PSA 9

Sk8board Card Collecting Is Not A Crime!
12. Sk8board Card Collecting Is Not A Crime! 
During the late 1980's my friends and I were heavily into skateboarding. To us, it wasn't just a hobby... but a way of life! As a way of reigniting my passion for skateboarding after 30+ years I started researching if any cards were made of the skateboard legends from my youth. Although tough to find, I've found some pieces that fit my collecting goals and have displayed them in this album.

Collection Highlights: 1978 Donruss All-Pro Skateboard #22 Stacy Peralta SGC 7,1983 Lyons Maid Junior Champs Tony Alva SGC 9, 1987 Astroboyz Surfing Mark Gonzales SGC 9, 1987 Overall (Brazil) #34 Skateboard Album Sticker Steve Caballero, 1987 Powell•Peralta Postcard Rodney Mullen, 1988-89 Cromy (Argentina) #106 Skateboard Album Sticker Tony Hawk

1966 G. Sosnak St. Louis Cardinals Ball
15. 1966 G. Sosnak St. Louis Cardinals Ball  
George Sosnak began his career in baseball as an umpire of military games in Germany after the Second World War, later attending umpiring school in Florida where he called balls and strikes at Detroit Tigers Spring Training games. It was around this time that Sosnak began to develop his distinctive folk art style, characterized by charmingly crude figures and painstakingly rendered text and statistics applied with almost mathematical precision.

This hand painted baseball by Sosnak celebrates the 1966 St. Louis Cardinals baseball club with team logo imagery and artwork of the team's biggest star, Bob Gibson. This ball has been signed in pencil by Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda, Red Schoendienst, Curt Flood and many others. Sosnak dedicated this ball to Winn Sosnak on the sweet spot.
