The Jesse Owens picture refers to his triple win at the Berlin Olympics. It is from Aug. 20, 1936.

Dear Babe: I have a 1975 Topps Robin Yount rookie card (No. 223). I have been told that it may be worth 50 cents or maybe $25. I have had this card since Day One, and it is in A-1 condition. If I can get Robin to sign it, would it make it worth more or less? -- Lynn Smith, Hemet, Calif.
