Be careful out there, Collectors.
We've written a TON in these pages about crime in our collectible corner of the world, but this week we published a piece that hit close to home. Mantel's Mike Metzler had a package with just-graded cards stolen, and through some admirable sleuthing, found a few of them cycling though the hobby.
And that alerted Mike to a problem worth solving- how can the hobby keep an eye out for stolen cards that pop up at shows and on marketplaces? So he teamed up with Nick Jarmin and the Certified Trading Card **** ociation (CTCA) to launch the Global Trading Card Registry.
If you've ever had a card stolen, or want to check if a card you're looking to buy is clean, sign up for the registry. It's a great service to the hobby that will become even more useful the more people use it.
Shohei Ohtani's signed, game-worn Tokyo Series cleats sold for a record $440,055 on The Realest, making them the most expensive baseball shoes ever auctioned. Worn in Ohtani's MLB debut in **** an, the cleats combined rare Kanji signatures, debut signature-shoe status, and historic provenance to redefine the market for game-used footwear. Ohtani didn't record any steals while wearing the cleats, but we think, despite hitting a record price, the auction winner got one here.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday to confirm he won't send U.S. troops to polling places during November's midterm elections, as Democrats have raised concerns that the Trump administration could use the military to interfere with the vote.
"I'd ask you to confirm a simple statement: the Department of Defense will not send Federal troops to the polls or to seize election materials of any kind," Slotkin wrote to Hegseth and to Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in letters Tuesday.
The Pentagon said in an email that it will respond directly to Slotkin, as it does with all congressional correspondence. The Joint Chiefs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Slotkin told The **** ociated Press that Trump has been laying the groundwork to claim the midterms were stolen. She noted that Trump contemplated using the military to seize voting machines after his loss in 2020 and has deployed the National Guard to cities against the wishes of Democratic leaders. He also deployed active duty Marines to Los Angeles during his immigration crackdown in 2025.
"He's very clearly laying the breadcrumbs to be able to say the day after the election that he didn't really lose the House or he didn't really lose the Senate," Slotkin said.

MINNEAPOLIS — Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., officially has a Republican challenger who is making the case that Minnesota voters are "fed up" with fraud and dysfunction and are ready for a change as he looks to unseat Omar in one of the country's most closely watched progressive strongholds.
John Nagel, a Minnesota native who spent 30 years as a state trooper, told Fox News Digital in an interview that he believes his background gives him a unique opportunity to make the case against Omar in Minnesota's deep-blue 5th Congressional District.
"I think the people of Minnesota have been lied to. They've had their money stolen. They want to see somebody that's going to come in and fix things," Nagel said. "They're tired of being told the same old things."
Nagel argued that his roots in the state and decades in law enforcement separate him from the political class.
Ilhan Omar On Track For Fifth Term As Minnesota Voters Maintain Far-left Streak

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry knew he needed to rebuild the wide receiver room and add talent after it struggled in 2025. Jerry Jeudy showed some ability but had a bad year holding onto the football, and Isaiah Bond had an up-and-down rookie season, though he showed promise.
ESPN's Ben Solak noted in an article that another wide receiver, rookie Denzel Boston, has shown his physical traits and ability are worth taking note of so far in camp.
"The biggest box for a rookie to check is one of physical benchmarks. Wide receiver Denzel Boston smashes it in this regard. He has clear pro size at 6-foot-4 with a well-built frame, and he knows how to use it. He pushes off with strength, and he attacks throws away from his frame with length and hand size. But it's the smoothness with which he's in and out of his routes that truly stands out. He has shorter strides for a taller receiver, which allows him to gather himself more quickly and sink his weight more easily than other jump-ball specialists. You can tell he'll be a great possession receiver on quick-breaking routes (think Michael Pittman Jr. or Drake London) because of his ability to snap into routes and box smaller corners out from the catch point."
Berry spent two of his top three picks at the position to upgrade the room and help whoever the quarterback ends up being. KC Concepcion was taken in the first round and has shown he is a dynamic playmaker, especially in the preseason opener, but the second guy, Denzel Boston, has really stolen the show at camp.
The Browns are hoping they can step into larger roles than many outside the organization are expecting, especially Boston.

On Thursday, reports emerged that the Seahawks had an agreement with free-agent cornerback Terrion Arnold. Four days later, the agreement has yet to become an official transaction.
Asked about the timetable for Arnold's arrival on Monday, coach Mike Macdonald told reporters: "No update on his front."
On Friday, Macdonald said "the timetable is being worked out" regarding Arnold. Macdonald also used the phrase "if and when he gets here."
In the NFL, nothing is done until it's done. Something is keeping the verbal deal from becoming a roster move.
Given that Arnold is facing eight felony charges that carry a potential sentence of life in prison arising from February's Fargo-style effort to recover stolen property at gunpoint (Arnold denies any role in the caper), it's possible that the Seahawks are exploring whether the league will put him on paid leave the moment the ink begins to dry on his Seahawks contract.

Dr. Terry Dubrow's plastic surgery practice experienced a data breach that resulted in cybercriminals accessing sensitive information belonging to patients. The information potentially included Social Security numbers, medical records and other personal details.
Dubrow, who is married to Heather Dubrow and is known for his connection to Real Housewives of Orange County, said there was no evidence that the stolen information had been misused or shared.
The breach reportedly began in January 2025, according to a notice filed with the California Attorney General. Dubrow's practice confirmed last month that patient data had been taken and began notifying affected individuals.
The information potentially included Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, addresses, birth dates, prescription information and treatment records. Some patient information also included procedure images and X-rays.
Dubrow told TMZ cybercriminals had become increasingly sophisticated with artificial intelligence and other technology. He also said he had spent significant money and resources on protecting patient information.

Members of a golf club in the south of Scotland have been left heartbroken after its entire trophy collection was stolen.
Police were called to reports of a break-in at Minto Golf Club, near Hawick, at about 22:45 on Saturday.
Officers said the thieves entered the clubhouse and took a number of trophies.
A spokesperson for the club said it had around 60 pieces of silverware in its collection, including trophies with "great sentimental value" that are no longer played for.
The spokesperson said: "These trophies are far more than pieces of silverware. They represent almost 100 years of history, achievements, friendships and treasured memories of generations of members.

The Yankees salvaged their three-game series Sunday at the Blue Jays when they escaped Toronto with a 4-3 win in which left-handed starting pitcher Ryan Weathers continued his dominant run.
Weathers (6-7, 3.56 ERA) has been outstanding for New York since July 25, making five starts of five innings pitched or more and consistently giving the offensively struggling Yankees a chance to win. Weathers' 7.1 IP matched his season-best start April 19 against the Kansas City Royals when he scattered five hits in a scoreless outing that saw him strike out eight and walk one. He allowed one run on six hits while fanning four and walking one over 95 pitches with 59 strikes. Especially as the Yankees' offensive struggles continue, Sunday was arguably Weathers' best yet during a stretch in which he has earned his stripes.
Luis Garcia Jr.'s 11th games with New York was a quiet 0-for-2 finish, but the second-batting designated hitter's third-inning sacrifice fly to left field got the Yankees on the board in an otherwise painful performance by the offense, which totaled three hits. Garcia, a top acquisition for New York at the MLB trade deadline, is slashing .220/.267/.366 with one home run and three RBI since joining the Yankees Aug. 3.
Infielder José Caballero, who scored on Garcia's one-out fly ball in the third inning, started the frame with a leadoff walk and subsequently stole third base to reach scoring position. Caballero's two-out RBI single in the seventh inning put the Yankees over the top, scoring shortstop George Lombard Jr. Through 103 games, Caballero is slashing .242/.300/.390 with 12 home runs and 43 RBI. He is up to 30 stolen bases this season.
First baseman Ben Rice made up for his costly fielding error to lead off the ninth inning and put the eventual game-tying run on base when he put the Yankees back on top with a two-run home run. Rice's 33rd home run of the season was his first hit of a 1-for-5 game. He is slashing .251/.344/.533 with 78 RBI through 119 games this season, a year in which the Yankees need all the offense that they can get without injured sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.

MILAN (AP) — Italian authorities recovered three artworks by Renoir, Cézanne and Matisse worth millions of euros that were stolen earlier this year from a private museum near the northern city of Parma, police said Friday. Five people were detained.
A statement from the Italian Carabinieri's art recovery squad said the artworks were discovered in the possession of one of the suspects during searches ordered by prosecutors in the Parma province and neighboring provinces. The five suspects detained are believed to belong to an organized crime group responsible for numerous thefts of homes, businesses and other properties. Police also recovered stolen goods worth tens of thousands of euros.
Meanwhile, Brazilian police said late Thursday they located eight stolen works by Matisse following an apartment raid outside Sao Paulo. There were no apparent links between the two thefts.
The three artworks recovered in Italy are "Fish," a painting by Auguste Renoir, "Still Life with Cherries," a pencil and watercolor by Paul Cézanne, and "Odalisque on the Terrace," a color aqatint by Henri Matisse. Authorities said the Cézanne was valued at 6 million euros ($7 million), the Renoir at 3 million euros ($3.5 million), and the Matisse at 20,000 euros ($23,000).
The heist at the Magnani Rocca Foundation, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Parma, took place on the night of March 22-23, police said. Video distributed by authorities showed the thieves entering through a broken door window and then taking the three artworks down from adjacent walls before exiting and escaping through the gardens in a matter of minutes.

Nebraska baseball picked up another August commit on Wednesday. Outfielder Isaac Feller announced his commitment to the Huskers.
Feller is coming off a standout performance at the Senior Future Games last month. The St. Paul, Minnesota, native, representing the Plains, was named Player of the Game in the team's 18-6 win over Southeast. He set the tone for the game in the first when he delivered a grand slam.
Feller stands at 6 feet, 165 pounds, and is rated by Prep Baseball as the No. 30 overall player from Minnesota for the class of 2027. He plays baseball for numerous teams throughout the year, including the summer season with LakePoint and Minnesota prospects programs.
Feller plays at Cretin-Derham Hall High School during the other seasons and helped them to the Minnesota state tournament. In the postseason run for Cretin-Derham Hall, he contributed 16 hits, 10 runs, nine RBI and three stolen bases. Feller finished the season with an All-Section selection and All-Conference honorable mention.
The senior now joins Kearney, Nebraska, right-handed pitcher Will Kaskie as the second August commit for the Huskers. Kaskie is a Class of 2028 commit out of Kearney Catholic.

CJ Abrams was the starting shortstop for the National League All-Star team this year. But the Washington Nationals will be transitioning him to second base during the rest of the season, manager Blake Butera announced on Friday.
In Abrams' place, Nasim Nuñez will eventually become the Nationals' starting shortstop. But those who follow the team — and its minor-league prospects — wonder if Seaver King, ranked No. 4 in the Washington system by MLB.com, could soon take over at that position.
Abrams, 25, has had an outstanding offensive season for the Nationals with a slash line of .284/.357/.541 with 29 home runs, 23 doubles, 23 stolen bases and an MLB-leading 91 RBI.
However, he has not been an All-Star in the field. Among traditional statistics, Abrams leads MLB shortstops with 19 errors in 113 games (112 starts).
Advanced metrics credit Abrams with -5 Defensive Runs Saved this season and -17 Outs Above Average. His DRS total ranks fourth-worst and his OAA figure is last among MLB shortstops with enough innings to qualify for consideration (700 or more) this season. For his career, Abrams is tagged with -11 DRS and -63 OAA.

His DRS total ranks fourth-worst and his OAA figure is last among MLB shortstops with enough innings to qualify for consideration (700 or more) this season. For his career, Abrams is tagged with -11 DRS and -63 OAA.

Matthew Liberatore was his best self Friday afternoon as the St. Louis Cardinals entered the gauntlet of Wrigley Field to play the Cubs for the start of a crucial weekend series. The problem was that Cubs starter Clay Holmes was even better. The first 2/3 of the game was a scoreless and nearly hitless duel. Wheels would start to come off for the Cardinals in that last third of the game, though.
There are no offensive highlights to share with you from the first half of the game. However, there were a couple of defensive gems provided by the middle infield of the Cardinals. In the bottom of the 4th inning, Pete Crow-Armstrong was robbed by Masyn Winn. ROBBED!
The very next batter Suzuki was also denied base access, this time by future Gold Glove second baseman JJ Wetherholt. ROBBED AGAIN!
The Cubs would threaten to break through the scoring drought in the bottom of the 6th inning when Liberatore handed out a leadoff walk to Taylor. Dansby Swanson singled to center which gave Chicago runners at first and third with no outs. Matthew was able to get PCA to foul out to third for the first out, but that would be the end of Liberatore's strong outing Friday. George Soriano was brought in to face Suzuki. During his at-bat, Swanson stole second giving the Cubs two runners in scoring position. The stolen base wouldn't matter as Suzuki connected on an 88 mph changeup as it cleared the wall in left field traveling 390 feet and giving Chicago a 3-0 lead.
The Chicago Cubs 6th inning wasn't over yet as Soriano followed the Suzuki homer with a walk to Alex Bregman and a single to Michael Busch still with just one out. Fortunately, JJ Wetherholt and Masyn Winn combined on a double play on a grounder from Nico ******* ner to end the inning with the damage already being done. The final stat line for Matthew Liberatore would look less impressive than the eye test where he looked extremely sharp for the first 5 innings. Matthew tossed 5 1/3 innings striking out 6 and only walking 1, but those 2 earned runs that crossed the plate along with the 1 Soriano was responsible for were a killer.

People who use a cycling club had been "upset" and "outraged" that more than £14,000 worth of equipment was taken after a break-in.
Wolverhampton Wheelers, which is run by volunteers, said it thought 10 bicycles had been stolen at Aldersley stadium between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
The club, founded in 1891, said specialist track bikes had been among items taken from a storage unit and the theft would impact its ability to deliver sessions.
Chair Jodie Parker said it "had to tell people not to come on Monday night, because there was no bike for them".
The Wheelers have 14 volunteer coaches and runs sessions four times a week, with money coming from more than 130 members.

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell is refusing to concede in Minnesota's Republican gubernatorial primary, alleging irregularities in the vote totals.
The businessman, who is backed by President Trump, lost to Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth (R) by roughly 11 percentage points, according to Decision Desk HQ.
When asked by a reporter on his live network, LindellTV, about whether he would concede the race if The ****** ociated Press called it for his opponent, the GOP candidate responded, "Why would I listen to the AP?"
"There's 265,000 votes left to count. I'm down by 18,000 now," he continued. "I'm not going to give up this race until the votes are counted. That's nonsense."
Lindell, who stepped down as My Pillow CEO to focus on his campaign, has a history of casting doubt on election results and has been a leading supporter of Trump's unsubstantiated claim that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen."

Coming home to find some of your belongings have been stolen can quickly turn an ordinary day into a stressful, emotional, and financially draining experience. Fortunately, renters insurance typically covers theft, helping to replace items stolen from your home, up to your policy limits.
However, not every theft-related incident is covered the same way. Here's a closer look at what renters insurance usually covers and where coverage may fall short.
Most standard renters insurance policies cover your personal belongings if they are stolen or damaged, whether the loss occurs inside or outside your home. Covered items can include everything from electronics and furniture to clothing and sentimental keepsakes.
For example, if you return home from a trip and discover that someone has broken into your apartment and stolen your laptop, TV, and jewelry, your renters insurance may help pay to replace those items, up to your policy's coverage limits.

US-listed spot Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted more than $853 million in net inflows last week, marking their strongest weekly performance since mid-April as a security breach involving Coldcard wallets renewed concerns over crypto self-custody.
Data from SoSoValue shows that the funds have maintained an inflow streak since last week, with inflows peaking at $244.42 million last Wednesday, following $211.49 million the previous day. The five-day streak brought in approximately $853.5 million, pushing ******* ulative net inflows to $52.18 billion.
Last month, a vulnerability in Coinkite's Coldcard hardware wallets was exploited to drain millions worth of Bitcoin from thousands of addresses. The attack is estimated to have resulted in around $130 million worth of Bitcoin being stolen.

The 2026 Los Angeles Angels had one of the most successful trade deadlines in years.
After the last half-decade of never going all in on selling or buying at the deadline, that finally changed.
On July 29, the Angels announced they were trading catcher Logan O'Hoppe and right-handed pitcher Chase Silseth to the Texas Rangers for infielder Angel Arredondo. While the timing of the trade was surprising, the trade itself was not, at least not entirely.
In 75 games this season for the Angels, O'Hoppe hit .209. His slugging percentage sat at .295 with 63 strikeouts. 2026 has been disappointing so far for O'Hoppe, not only offensively but defensively. He's had five errors and has allowed 50 stolen bases while only catching 14.
While O'Hoppe has been a fan favorite among Halo fans, the trade made sense. The 26-year-old just hasn't been doing it for the Angels behind the plate. And with the addition of Tyler Heineman earlier this season and Travis D'Arnaud returning from the injured list, there was no room left for O'Hoppe.

After squeaking out an important series win against the Cleveland Guardians this past weekend, the South Siders look to carry that momentum into a new three-game set against the Cincinnati Reds. Ideally, the Sox can take care of business while holding down first place as the Detroit Tigers and the Guardians bat each other up over the next few days.
The good news is that on top of the wizardry that Mike Vasil contributes to the team, the Good Guys can channel the Pope and those powers-that-be, as 38,000+ fans in attendance on the South Side will be sporting a "Pope hat" from tonight's giveaway.
Standing room only at Sox Park? All for this glorious hat:
The South Siders have their ace on the mound, as righthander Sean Burke makes his 20th start of the season. Burke ranks 15th in baseball with 144 strikeouts while holding a 27.4% strikeout rate, ranking in the 81st percentile among MLB pitchers. Burke's excellent extension while walking batters at a lower rate (7.4%) has helped maintain his dominance over the last several starts. In his last seven games, he's posted an excellent 1.74 ERA across 41 1/3 frames with just a 0.92 WHIP, striking out 57 against just nine walks. The White Sox rank last in innings pitched for starting pitchers, so Burke going at least six innings in five of his last six starts has been helpful to keep a struggling offense in games.
With a lefty on the mound against the South Siders, Will Venable is calling on his right-handed hitters to hold it down at the plate tonight. Chase Meidroth is getting a second consecutive day of rest, so Sam Antonacci will slot in at second base, with Randal Grichuk batting cleanup and playing left. Colson Montgomery is also getting an off-day in the field, locking in as the DH with Luisangel Acuña subbing in at shortstop. Brenton Doyle will also continue to lead off with Meidroth out, and he wasn't too shabby the other day, even tallying a couple of hits on Sunday with a stolen base and run scored.

The Los Angeles Rams have stolen headlines for various reasons this offsason, most recently for the possibility tht they get Aaron Donald back from a two-year retirement.
Donald has been teasing a possible decision, but recently admitted that he was unsure. Rams head coach Sean McVay has been forward about his desire to have Donald back with the team, but also that he would not pressure his former defensive star.
Now, after McVay set some loose timeline expectations, the head coach addressed the matter.
The Rams held their first practice back in Woodland Hills on Saturday after beginning training camp at Loyola Marymount, and McVay fielded a question about Donald, who was spotted at UCLA working out on Friday.
McVay previously said that he expected to get more clarity on Donald's decision, either way, when the Rams got back to Woodland Hills.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bubba Chandler allowed three hits in six innings, Jake Mangum had three hits and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Mets 9-0 on Saturday night to end a four-game skid.
Chandler (5-8) struck out five and walked one on 85 pitches — 58 for strikes. The 23-year-old former top prospect has surrendered seven earned runs in 26 2/3 innings over his past five starts.
Mangum had two doubles, a single and a stolen base. Nick Gonzales drove in three runs for the Pirates, who hadn't scored more than four in seven straight games since an 8-7 loss at the Reds on July 31.
Robert Stock (0-2) lasted three innings for the Mets, being charged for eight runs on nine hits and five walks with four strikeouts.
Mangum led off the first with a double off the right-field wall and scored from third when Gonzales grounded back to Stock with the bases loaded. Ronny Simon then slipped a two-out double just inside third base and down the line, tacking on two more.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox retired the No. 13 of former manager and shortstop Ozzie Guillén' in a ceremony before Saturday's game against Cleveland.
The 62-year-old Guillén , a colorful ***** yst on White Sox telecasts, became the 13th individual and first former manager to have his number retired by the team. His name and number were unveiled on a façade of Rate Field's second deck.
A three-time All-Star, Guillen played his first 13 of 16 major league seasons with the White Sox. He was the AL rookie of the year in 1985 at age 21, and won a Gold Glove in 1990.
In 13 seasons as a White Sox player, Guillen batted .265 with 24 home runs, 565 RBIs and 163 stolen bases over 1,743 regular-season games. He concluded his playing career with Baltimore, Atlanta and Tampa Bay, and finished with a .264 average, 28 homers and 619 RBIs when he retired in 2000.
Guillén returned to Chicago to manage the White Sox from 2004 to 2011 and led the White Sox to their last World Series championship in 2005. Over eight seasons, his record was 678-617.

The Red Sox are 27-4 in their last 31 games. It's the most remarkable stretch of regular season baseball I've ever had the privilege to witness. So believe me when I say that I do not want to be the person talking about cyclosporiasis at the barbecue. But in light of the fact that that's kind of my job, I do have to say: if the good times are going to end, today's game was offered a template of how it's going to happen.
Jake Bennett has been a huge (and completely unexpected) part of this unfathomable stretch of baseball. But he's a relatively unheralded rookie who, just today, set a new professional career high in innings pitched. He was by no means horrible, but he didn't have his best stuff and couldn't make it through six innings, leaving the game as the Sox found themselves in a one-run deficit.
Justin Slaten, who replaced him, was actually one of the more well-rested arms in an otherwise depleted bullpen. But "well-rested" in this case just meant that he didn't pitch yesterday, having thrown 17 pitches the day before. He immediately walked a hitter and allowed a double, giving the A's a three-run lead. This, essentially, was the ballgame. The Red Sox offense, which has been magic for most of the past six weeks and was again in the first inning today, scoring two runs on the strength of three stolen bases, suddenly reverted t0 pre-streak form, stranding runners on second base in both the fourth and fifth innings and otherwise barely even threatening to wake up.
This run has been amazing and magical and will never be forgotten. Dave O'Brien absolutely nailed it when he thanked the surging Sox for saving the summer. But the bill is coming due and it's going to paid in the currency of arms. There's only one question that matters for the Red Sox for the rest of the regular season: can this pitching staff hang on? Today, it didn't.
Raymond Burgos: When the ***** was the last time a pitcher threw three or more innings in consecutive days? Burgos did it for the Sox this afternoon, and, thus, saved the rest of the bullpen to throw another day. He's not long for the big league roster, but let us not forget his contribution this afternoon.

An extra-time brace from Remina Chiba secured a 3-1 win for the Women's First Team against Hammarby in Biella.
The win sees the Bianconere through to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Champions League as the champions of the mini-tournament.
The Swedes got off to a flying start and, after just two minutes, Svea Rehnberg went close, only to be denied by Danielle De Jong. The visitors maintained the upper hand in the opening stages, but as the minutes ticked by, Juventus began to take greater control of possession.
In the 22nd minute, Juventus had their first attempt through Estela Carbonell, whose shot went wide. Six minutes later, however, it was Hammarby who broke the deadlock: Rehnberg was on hand in the box and scored from close range to make it 0–1.
Juventus responded, and in the 33rd minute, Alba Redondo went in search of an equaliser, only to be denied by Bella Andersson. In the 38th minute, Emma Stolen Godo tried her luck with a header. Barely a minute later, the score was 1–1: following a sustained attack in the Swedish box, Redondo was quickest to pounce on the ball and beat Andersson.
