Sports Action Figures

Figure Champion Belt

Sports Jewelry is Always a Winner

The thrill of victory is often accompanied by receiving a piece of commemorative jewelry. From the World Series of Baseball to the Super Bowl of the National Football League, sports jewelry is coveted and very collectable. Rings and other jewelry awarded to professional athletes are rare commodities. Possessing a Super Bowl ring identifies the player as a member of a small fraternity of football athletes who have reached the pinnacle of their career.

The tradition of awarding rings to winning baseball teams really has its start in nineteen twenty two. By nineteen thirty one, all major league players who were members of a winning World Series team have received a ring. The tradition has continued ever since and the custom has spread include the professional sports of football and basketball.

The belt of a world champion boxer is a very item. Often adorned by gemstones and precious metals like gold and silver, very few of these prizes are available, even to collectors. The gems and gold may not have much value in and of themselves. Assembled into the belt of a champion and the value grows significantly.

Championship rings are often very audacious and quite large in size, certainly a reflection of the effort required to attain one. Again, the gemstones and precious metals used to make these rings have a value. The design and artisanship that goes into these one of a kind jewelry pieces makes them valuable far beyond the gems and metal.

Throughout sports history, no award is more coveted than an Olympic Medal. Medals of gold, silver and bronze are awarded to Olympians whose performance exceeded that of their peers. The modern gold medal is made from solid silver and plated with a quarter ounce of pure gold. Notable gold medal winners from the modern day Olympic Games include Muhammad Ali, Shaquille ONeal, Sheryl Swopes and former United States Senator Bill Bradley.

The awarding of trophies and cups has been a tradition is all manner of sporting competitions has as storied past. Sterling silver and silver plate was often used. The design of the cup or trophy was unique to the sport or to the specific competition. Modern cup trophies that many people are familiar with include the winners trophy at the Indianapolis 500 motor race and the Stanley Cup. The Cup is awarded to the championship team from the National Hockey League. The Indy 500 trophy is adorned with facial figures of the winning drivers and, like The Cup, is completely unique.

Collectors of sports memorabilia place a very high value on sports jewelry. A genuine World Series Championship ring can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. The value placed on these one of a kind items of sports jewelry is greatly influenced by who owned the ring. It is rumored that slugger Jose Canseco sold one of his World Series rings for forty thousand dollars.

The popularity of high stakes poker has spurred interest in a new type of sports jewelry award. The World Series of Poker bracelet is fast becoming the next big thing in collectable jewelry. Now few people would consider poker a sport, but well known players have legions of fans that closely follow professional poker.

Sports fans can find an almost endless variety of sports jewelry dedicated to their favorite team or athlete. Everything from rings, watches, bracelets, necklaces and more are available. As with the purchase of any type of jewelry, the buyer needs to be sure of the items value. There is a veritable world of fakes and knockoffs that can sometimes fool even the well informed buyer.

Legendary Rider Series

Skateboarding: The Art Of War - Steve Rocco

In 1989, Brad Dorfman reported a whopping 89-million dollars in company turnover for Vision Inc. Not too shabby. Two years prior, with business already blooming alongside the 80s skateboard explosion, Brad had to make what probably seemed like a rather mundane decision at the time. He kicked 27-year-old freestyle professional Steve Rocco off of Sims Skateboards, on of Vision's many lucrative subsidiaries. By 1991, that very same man was at the helm of the best-selling company in skateboarding: World Industries and rumors were churning about Vision's imminent bankruptcy. What happened? A man living on Naras Kaupas' kitchen floor maxed out his credit card to buy 6,000 dollars' worth of boards, screened them, and then proceeded to all but tear down the "Big Five" (Vision, Powell Peralta, Santa Cruz, Thrasher, and Transworld), usher in a new era of street skating, give a heavy shot in the arm to the skater-owned company, and permanently change the rules by which skateboarders do business. He did so with little more than a keen sense of humor, an ear to the ground, fearless power moves, and an incredible knack for turning his weaknesses into advantages. That man would quickly become known throughout skateboarding simply as "Rocco". The upcoming Whyte House Productions documentary, The Man Who Souled The World tells his story. The following are the broad strokes.

THE BOOT AND THE BIRTH
" It actually never occurred to me to start a company. I was just a skater at the time that had been kicked off a team. I though my life, at least the part that had anything to do with skating, was over." According to Rocco, it was Zephyr Surf Shop co-founder and one-time Z- Boys team manager Skip Engblom who first suggested buying 500 boards and starting a company. Accordingly, Rocco pushed all his chips into the middle of the table, and with a little hand from Natas and Skip, launched SMA Rocco Division. SMA or Santa Monica Airlines, was a subsidiary company owned by Santa Cruz that Natas rode for at the time. Very quickly, Santa Cruz, an established mainstay in the industry over the past few decades, demanded he stop using the SMA name for his company. At the same time, "SMA World Industries" had been screened on a fiew boards and shirts as a joke for how small the operation actually was. In response, Rocco dropped the SMA name and World Industries was born.

THE SEED INVESTMENTS
With an actual company under his belt, Rocco began searching for capital by which to sustain his small venture. John Lucero made a quick cameo as an investor, then promptly pulled out, selling his shares to then unbeatable Powell Peralta freestyle sensation Rodney Mullen for 6,000 dollars. Rocco and Rodney had befriended each other earlier via the freestyle circuit, and Rocco went on to finance another 20,000 dollars of his company through a shady loan shark by the name of Kirby. Essentially, within his first year of business, Rocco had a choice- pay Kirby back the 30 grand with monthly payments of 2,500 dollars, or find out what happens to your knees when a loan shark doesn't get paid in full. In Rocco's words, "After many sleepless nights, we paid it back and Kirby became a friend and shareholder in the company."

THE FIRST TEAM AND THE BARNYARD BOARD
Rocco's very first rider would come in the form of Jesse "The Mess" Martinez. While considered one of the top established street skaters at the time, Jesse was as rebellious as Rocco and took little convincing in leaving Powell Peralta for World. Former Alva rider Jef Hartsel quickly followed suit, and with three established names to screen print on his boards, the powers that be (a.k.a Powell, Vision, and Santa Cruz) began to take notice of what Steve was up to. Their fears were quickly compounded when Rocco managed to officially swipe Rodney Mullen, and a red-hot seventeen-year-old Mike Vallely, up and out from under Powell's aging feet. Vallely's first board the " Barnyard" model, was the first-ever double-kick shaped deck to take hold in skateboarding- changing board shapes and concaves forever more. It was also legendary World artist Marc McKee's first board graphic, setting the tone for the neon, tongue-in-cheek cartoon graphics (later, also under the skilled hands of Sean Cliver) that the company became notorious for, and also became Rocco's first major financial success as a best-selling board. On top of all that, the Barnyard board was Rodney Mullen's first at bat as a board shaper.

THE BET ON STREET SKATING
As skateboarding at large watched intently, Rocco began, to the ridicule of many to essentially assemble the first all-street team ever. At the time, the industry believed it impossible for any company to survive without a marquee vert superstar a la Hawk or Hosoi. However, very quickly this theory proved to have become the exact opposite. Vert was about to die. World's first video, Rubbish Heap, contained absolutely no vert riders, save Jesse Martinez's incredible padless midsize ramp lines (and Tom Boyle in the end credits) and essentially blew up the likes of Jeremy Klein (first back Smith on a rail ever), Ron Chatman, and obviously Mike V. The video also contained Mullen's first-ever footage riding a "street" board, was one of Spike Jonze's first stints behind a video camera, and made a mockery of Powell and Vision's ultra high and glossy production values. With every passing month, skateboarding was turning further and further upside down, and the old guard was not at all prepared.

THE SPIN-OFF COMPANIES AND VIDEO TAKEOVER
By 1990, Mark Gonzales, then a star rider for Vision, approached Rocco, simply out of his amazement that Steve, a fellow skater, was running a company within which he could basically do everything and anything he wanted. Gonz proposed his company, Blind- "Blind" being the opposite of "Vision"- and Rocco grabbed World's top pro at the time, Jason Lee, and sewed him in to Mark's new venture. A year later, Natas Kaupas, equally amazed at what Rocco and now Mark were doing, left Santa Cruz to start his own company under the Rocco umbrella: 101 Skateboards.

Within the next few years, World Industries became a parent company to a whole slew of extremely profitable off shot "subsidiary" companies. Most notably, along with Blind and 101, was Plan B, a project former H- Street co-founder Mike Ternasy came to Rocco with, ultimately leading to one of the most star-studded teams ever assembled: Danny Way, Colin McKay, Matt Hensley, Sean Sheffey, Rich Howard, Mike Carroll, Sal Barbier, Pat Duffy, and Ryan Fabre.

After Rubbish Heap in '89, Blind's Video Days in '91 (Spike Jonze's first job directing and considered by many to this day to be the best skateboard video of all time), it became an undebatable fact that any and every video coming out of the Rocco family editing bay would be the absolute best. All this to the enormous chagrin of Stacey Peralta and George Powell, who had essentially held that spot since the skateboard video was given birth via the Bones Brigade Video Show back in '85.

THE AD WARS
Since the inception of the World, every last ad Rocco ran contained two constant elements-sarcastic wit (often at his own expense) and seething controversy (often at the expense of others' morals). However, it was not until Powell ran an ad with three of their riders, mocking the skater-owned "smaller" companies (a direct attack on Rocco, Gonz, et cetera), that all-out war was declared between the two camps.

With his next Blind ad, now referred to simply as the infamous "Dear George" letter, Rocco unveiled a series of boards directly mocking some of Powell's most prestigious VCJ graphics. The ad was accompanied by an open letter to George Powell ending simply with "P.S. Do you think I should kill myself." The end result-within months of this now very public battle, Powell's board sales tanked like the Titanic while Rocco's rose like Apollo 13. It was rumored in the industry that Steve was then holding nearly 80 percent of the market share in the U.S. alone. In his head-to-head battle with nearly all his former "Big Five" enemies, Steve had beaten them at their own game. It was now his turn to make the rules.

After gathering his legends in the form of Jesse, Hartsel, Rodney, Mike V., the Gonz, and Natas, Rocco quickly moved on and showed incredible knack for hooking up not only the youngest street skaters (a.k.a. Chris Branagh, pro at eleven), bur more importantly, some of the most talented throughout the past decade. He found Daewon Song and Jason Lee, he spotted the magical talent of Kareem Campbell, and built an incubus during the early 90s that nurtured the likes of Guy Mariano, Henry Sanchez, Lavar McBride, Marcus McBride, Chico Brenes, Daniel Castillo, Brian Lotti, Jovantae Turner, Eric Koston, Chris Pastras, Randy Colvin, Keenan Milton, Shiloh Greathouse, Ronnie Creager, Gabriel Rodriguez, Joey Suriel, Lee Smith, Gino Iannucci, Rudy Johnson, Tim Gavin, Richard Mulder, and on and on and on. Rocco was also one of the frist company owners to push a seriously multi- ethnic, multi-racial team in what had formerly been viewed as kind of a white-washed pastime.

BIG BROTHER TO JACKASS
With his constantly profane ad concepts, Rocco was continually running into problems with the censorship policies of then Larry Balma-owned Transworld and even the more lax policies up at Thrasher. When Larry Balma refused to run a specific World ad on the grounds that it promoted teen suicide, Rocco had had enough. In response, he replaced the ad with a questionnaire, explaining his situation, and asking Transworld's readers what he should do in response. Their answer- " Start your own magazine." Accordingly, Big Brother magazine saw its first issue. After giving Jeff Tremaine his first shot in skateboard- mag publishing, which in turn later gave Johnny Knoxville his first chance at acting via the Big Brother videos, Big Brother became one of the most controversial magazines of the 90s period (full frontal nudity, drugs, theft, and the Los Angeles local news favorite "How To Kill Yourself" article). Rocco eventually sold Big Brother to none other than Larry Flynt in 1996. With a little help from Spike Jonze, Tremaine would ultimately transition Big Brother's videos into MTV's Jackass, Wild Boyz, Viva La Bam, Rob & Big, and the rest.

TEENAGE MILLIONAIRES AND COMPANY MUTINY
In 1992, Rocco had his first ten-million-dolor year. One of the best things and ultimately one of the hardest things about him running his teams was that he essentially gave them unlimited amounts of cash at incredibly young ages and provided them with an absolute carte blanche to do whatever, whenever they wanted. Turning them loose in four-star hotels and providing them with the infamous World Park where they pretty much tested any and every moral boundary from beer, acid, and porn to wanton public vandalism and theft, Rocco;s riders ultimately took the ridiculous amounts of freedom they had been handed, along with so many thousand-dolor shopping sprees and began to grow apart from him and Rodney. This problem culminated in mid 1993when Rich Howard, Mike Carroll, Megan Baltimore, and Spike Jonze took Sean Sheffey, Jovantae Turner, Jeron Wilson, Tim Gavin, Tony Fergusson, Rudy Johnson, Eric Koston, and Guy Mariano out from under various Rocco-owned companies to start Girl Skateboards. Howard and company subsequently swept up Paulo Diaz, Ben Sanchez, Gabriel Rodriguezm Chico Brenes, Richard Mulder, Shamil Randle, and Daniel Castillo to start Chocolate the fallowing year. Rocco, seemingly invincible, had taken his first major hit.

CLEANING UP SHOP AND THE YEAR OF REAPER
As Rocco attempted to re-organize after losing a huge chunk of his marquee riders, his restructured what had been up to that point an extremely disorganized combination of haphazard accounting and lax general business practices. He hired another former freestyler and savvy businessman Frand Messman as a CEO along with Scott Drouillard as an accountant. While Rocco began to relinquish the near dictatorial reigns of his empire, handing control to more corporate-minded individuals and things began picking up again, disaster struck again in 1994. Steve Rocco's father, Rodney, Mullen's mother, and Plan B Mike Ternasky all passed away in what Rocco refers to as "The Year of the Reaper." This devastating blos, to both Steve, Rodney, and everyone at Plan B, not only hurt morale, it also ended in the departure of the Pland B brand from under World's roof. Steve was again forced to seek out a new direction for his embattled family tree.

THE DEVIL MAN, WET WILLY, FLAMEBOY, AND LITTLE-KID FOREVER
As Steve racked his brain for a new direction with which to keep his company afloat, Marc McKee happened to pen up a little logo for a Christmas card that they quickly called the Devil Man. In a complete shift from his former team-driven approach, Steve, in an epiphany, immediately seized upon the cartoon characters McKee was creating as his answer. With skateboarding beginning to boom again in the mainstream to levels not seen since before the early 90s slump, Rocco rather ingeniously identified his next target audience- eight to twelve year olds and the parents who buy their boards for them. And PG-13 cartoon graphics that McKee was pumping out by the busload were essentially exactly what those little kids wanted.

SELLING THE WORLD
"You never really think about being able to get out and just stop. Or you think about it, but it just doesn't really happen in our industry. Everybody just gets big and then goes under," says Rocco. What he loved most in life was cash in the band and the freedom it gave him. After over ten years in the skateboard industry trenches and having gone from the bottom of bottoms to top of the tops, he decided he didn't want to go out like Brad Dorfman had a decade before him. In late '98 Rocco sold World Industries, then the first publicly traded skateboard company on the stock market, to Swander Pace Venture Capital for twenty-million dollars. While he remains a small shareholder in various skate brands, Steve is currently relaxing at home in his multi-million dollar Malibu trailer home. When asked what was more rewarding over the years, starting a company or selling one, he replied simply, "You forgot to mention destroying" Then he laughed.

Mlb- Jeter Wants To Stay With The Yankees

Derek Jeter, the New York Yankees' highest paid player, is entering the last year of his 10-year contract, valued at $189 million. The Yankees have refused, however, to discuss a new contract until the end of the season.

Although Jeter has been very clear that he wishes to play for the Yankees, and the Yankees alone, his future with the team seems uncertain at this point. The player refuses to give a clue as to what he thinks may happen at the end of the coming season; while at training camp, he has said he only wants to focus on the year's performance and what he can contribute to the team and the organization.

Jeter has been playing with the Yankees since the 1992 MLB draft, when fortune seemed to dictate his rejection by the Astros, Indians, Expos, Orioles, and Reds. Since them, he has become an ideal player and a strong talent. Indeed, in terms of skill, he is one of the Yankees' most valuable players.

The Yankees have been very strict in their policies regarding players and new contracts, and Jeter has chosen to respect the general manager's decision. The speculation arising out of the situation, he contends, is only a distraction, and one he hopes to avoid.

Whether the team will offer a contract, or a contract as lucrative as the one he signed in 2001, is a matter for debate. Nor is it clear that Jeter could find a similar offer from another team. However, Jeter has thus far claimed that he intends to stay with the New York team.

“I can't think about what's going to happen after this year. You don't think about what legacy you have when you're still playing. That's something you consider when your career is over,” Jeter said. “My desire is to stay here. I haven't thought about … how much money (I) want because we haven't sat down to negotiate anything. That hasn't crossed my mind. That's not what I play for. I play in order to try to help this team win.”

The deal made in 2001 was one that no other team could beat. Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera, and Jorge Posada were all on the same boat – expensive players that few other teams could afford.

Now, Jeter, Rivera, and Posada all find themselves with their contracts about to expire and in a place of uncertainty, as the Yankees have announced that they will not negotiate with any of them until the season ends. Jeter is the oldest of the three, and the most costly.

Nonetheless, the player is in incredible shape, with .334 batting and .871 OPS as well as a rediscovered range at shortstop. He also helped the Yankees take their first World Series since 2000. Jeter has also won three Gold Gloves and has been a World Series and All-Star MVP in his 14 seasons in New York. Chances are good that he'll stay with the team, but we'll have to wait until the end of the season to know for sure.

How to Face Paint and Create an Original Costume

Deciding on what costume to use or wear for any occasion is always fun. Halloween, costume parties, holiday themes and weddings are all places that more and more people are enjoying coming up with their own costume ideas. Most people feel that their challenge is to come up with the most unique costume at their event so that they stand out over all the rest. Sometimes there is even a challenge where a prize is awarded for the best costumes. Yet another challenge more and more people are facing every day is to come up with something both unique and affordable. Costumes can be expensive. You or your kids can have the most original costumes when you use face painting!

The pressure of having to have the best or most original costume is always present. It doesn't matter if you are a child in school or an adult; everyone wants to have the most outstanding costume. Do what most others aren't likely to do and use face paints instead of a "mask" or to perfect your look for your costume.

It's essential you learn how to face paint properly. First, make sure when you buy face paints, always check to see that they are safe for the skin and non-toxic. Test a small area of the skin before using the paint to check for sensitivities and to prevent tears from bad reactions. Read all of the instructions that come with the face paints for the best results.

It isn't realistic to expect to be a professional face painter the first time you give it a try, so it is a good idea to practice as much as possible before the actual day when you need to be wearing your costume. If you plan on applying the face paint on a child's face, it can be much less stressful for both parties if the time it takes to apply the face paint is a short as possible. Practice can help! Using templates or even stencils can help to perfect technique.

If you are going to use face paint on more than just the face, you will want to make sure you have the right tools to do the job. You most likely have a paint brush for small areas and fine details, but you will want to have a sponge if you are going to use face paint on larger areas. Sponges are great for blending and keeping the paint looking smooth. You can often find body paint at the same locations as face paint and it might be a more economical way to go if you are going to paint your body.

Once you're ready to tackle the "real thing", you are going to need the right tools close by. Some of the items other face painters have found to be helpful include clean water in bowls, brushes, sponges, towels or washcloths and face paints. Paper towel is a favorite among professional face painters as they are always dry and handy. Make sure that your brushes are always clean and never have another color on them before using new colors. This will ensure the kind of look you want from your face paints.

When you are ready to apply the face paint, paint all the way up to the hair line and under the chin. If you need a more complete look, paint all the way down the neck past the collar bone. Apply face paint in very thin layers. It dries quickly and is less likely to crack when the face paint is thin on the skin.

Once you become comfortable and learn how to face paint, you will most likely use them instead of masks and other costumes. They are original, fun and unique every time. Face paints are also easy on the wallet and they allow for maximum visibility as opposed to wearing a mask. Face paints have so many benefits; it seems like a shame not to use them!

What is the best kind of face paint to use?

My friend and I are going to a music festival and we want to paint faces while we are there. We will probably be doing it for free so we aren't looking for anything too fancy. I was wondering if the actual paint is best or if those crayon-like face paints are.

The liquid paint is much better.
The crayons can be kind of hard to apply on the skin and don't blend and can come off patchy. They are smaller and provide less control.

Jason Begg Smith Jason Begg-Smith wins Australia's first men’s medal at freestyle titles

Dale Begg-Smith has become the first Australian man to win a world championship freestyle skiing medal, taking bronze in moguls in Ruka, Finland, overnight.

The result continued a record-breaking year in which the 20-year-old skier made three World Cup podiums and finished in second place on the Cup end of season standings.

It is also the second men’s world championship medal in any skiing discipline and the first since Malcolm Milne won downhill bronze in Val Gardena in 1970.

Begg-Smith qualified in fourth place behind a Finnish trio of Janne Lahtela, Sami Mustonen and Mikko Ronkainen, with pre-race favourite Jeremy Bloom of the United States – the runaway World Cup champion - out of finals contention after a major mistake on the bottom jump of the course.

In the final, the Australian started with a perfect score on his top jump, earned the highest turns score from the judges and also recorded the fastest time down the course.

But a bad landing on the bottom jump cost him valuable points, and he went into third place behind American Nathan Roberts and Canadian Marc-Andre Moreau.

With the three home-town heroes to come, no-one in the fanatical 5000-strong crowd gave Begg-Smith any chance of retaining a place on the podium.

But all three faltered, making major mistakes on their way down the 218 metre Battery Run course, the 2002 Olympic champion Lahtela producing the best result at eighth.

For Begg-Smith, taking a medal at a world championship was definitely more significant than his World Cup success this year.

“I think world champs are more important, “ he said. “They’re once every two years, and there’s no question that everyone who comes to world championships wants to do well.”

“On World Cup, someone like Janne (Lahtela) may not care all that much because he has won so many World Cups, but definitely everyone wants to do their best once every two years at the world championships.”

“I started out conservative this season and it’s paid off as the season has gone on. Just concentrating on putting down good runs allowed me to pick up the speed gradually, feeling confident because I knew I had those good runs behind me.”

“Before I was trying to go fast right away, and if you do that you’re not confident enough that you can do it every time.”

Not for the first time this season, Olympic Winter Institute Head Moguls Coach Steve Desovich was astonished at what his star athlete had accomplished.

“When you look at where we were 12 months ago and where we are now, the progress has been enormous,” Desovich said.”

“Today was a tremendous performance. The landing on the bottom air was the only thing that was sub-par today on both runs, and that’s what may have ultimately cost him doing better.”

“He has a tendency to play it very safe, so to see the speed he had in the qualification round you knew right away he was focussed and that he could produce something special.”

“His top jump in the final was a perfect score from both judges, and to have the highest turns score and virtually the highest speed – that’s very impressive.”

“If you had said at the start of the season that he would be top ten at the end of the year I would have been very, very happy.”

“So to finish second on World Cup and then pick up a medal at the world championships, well it’s been an incredible year for him.”

Of the other Australians in the field, Nick Fisher finished in 23rd place in 23.16 points, Michael Robertson in 26th place on 22.99 points and Jason Begg-Smith in 34th place on 21.53 points.

In the women’s event, the sole Australian competitor, Manuela Berchtold, finished in 23rd place on 18.88 points after problems landing her first jump.

United States skier Hannah Kearney took the gold medal on 26.40 points from Nikola Sudova of the Czech Republic on 26.31 and Margarita Marbler of Austria.

The World Championships dual moguls event will be contested on Sunday

Steve Smith and Larry Johnson for Steven Jackson and Braylon Edwards?

I have Steven Jackson and Braylon Edwards, would you trade them both for Larry Johnson and Steve Smith? Jackson is suppose to have a Monster Season, LJ has no quarterback, but Smith is an upgrade over Edwards..Would you make the deal or not? Please provide an explanation either way, Thanks!

Definite upgrade at WR with this pick and (based upon prior years) little downgrade, if anything at RB. So at it's face I say go for it.

BUT, I am really not convinced of LJ this year. I'm concerned about the hold out and the complete lack of offense the team has.

It is a very risky trade that will make or break your season. If you team is mediocre....make the trade and go for it. If you have a top team coming out of the draft, I'd go the safe route.

For me, I would do the trade.
