The Chicago Cubs' World Series win is big business -- on cardboard and beyond -- but Buzz has a question.

Did you buy any Cubs cards after their championship?

Plenty of collectors did as, for example, the 2016 Topps Now Chicago Cubs World Series Championship set came in two forms -- an autograph set for $149.99 that included one signed card and a standard one that was $49.99. The pricey one sold 2,581 copies and the unsigned set sold 6,636 -- not shabby but probably still just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a history-making win and sales.

Cubs. Win.

The Chicago Cubs ended more than a century of futility on Thursday morning in Cleveland, winning the seventh game of the World Series in a rain-delayed extra-inning affair.

David Ross' final Game at Wrigley Field came with a serenade from Eddie Vedder on Sunday night, and as he marches toward retirement there's one thing for sure about the Chicago Cubs' 39-year-old catcher.

He's easily among the toughest autographs on the team when it comes to certified cardboard.

That's something worth noting as his career comes to an end -- and potentially in the biggest way possible with a World Series win for the historically downtrodden team.

"I've had a storybook year, honestly. There are so many things I can talk about that have happened to me over this year," Ross told The Associated Press. "Everybody was looking at me like, dude, Eddie Vedder just dedicated the whole seventh-inning stretch to you and I'm like, my mind's blown. I'm thinking about being out of the game and he's a quality individual. He's just a good person, rock star, everybody knows who Eddie Vedder is. He says my name -- it's a huge compliment."
