His first born is due any minute, but that didn't keep basketball card analyst Keith Hower from slamming through online auctions this morning. Hower ran across this first-ever Pete Maravich autograph card, a crown jewel of the 2006-07 Press Pass Legends set released Jan. 24.

This is the first Maravich auto from the set we've seen surface, and this one is numbered 1/5.

Will be interesting to watch whether collectors will fight it out for this card . . . or will the auction fizzle under the weight of the astronomical Buy It Now price?

See what you think...and then talk about it in our message boards.
