Fifty years ago this June, Steven Spielberg brought the terror of the deep to the silver screen with his summer blockbuster Jaws, striking fear into the hearts of untold scores of beach-bound vacationers. Also making waves was Roger Kastel’s artwork for the movie’s poster. One of the most iconic images in cinematic history, Kastel’s illustration, as seen on this unrestored half sheet, shows Spielberg’s killer shark and its razor-sharp teeth heading straight toward an unsuspecting swimmer.

Historic video game finds continue to surface, even in 2025, as demonstrated by the Waterford Collection, a newly named collection certified by CGC. This first-print Legend of Zelda from the Waterford Collection is the highest-graded first-print example ever offered publicly. As the debut entry in a franchise that helped define the action-adventure genre, and the industry itself, this copy of the landmark Nintendo game offers a rare combination of historical significance, scarcity and exceptional condition.

On March 28, 1977, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, Muhammad Ali famously surprised Sylvester Stallone as he was preparing to present the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. “I’m the real Apollo Creed,” Ali joked before the duo began a playful onstage sparring session. This press photograph from the ceremony captures Ali and Stallone, who was nominated that year for his leading role in Rocky, in front of a life-size Oscar statue.
