Black Friday is almost here but Buzz is kicking off the Blowout contests early right here, right now.

Above is a 1/1 Stormtrooper sketch by artist Carlos Cabaleiro that was pulled from a hobby box of 2016 Topps Star Wars Rogue One: Mission Briefing and we want it to be yours.

Are you ready for some football cards? BlowoutCards.com has a chance for you to score big as part of our preparations for Black Friday.

In a comment right here on The Buzz, guess the total number of points scored in all three Thanksgiving NFL games without going over. The closest to predicting the total point score for the Vikings-Lions, Redskins-Cowboys and Steelers-Colts games -- without going over -- gets a 2016 Donruss football set.

If the total is guessed exactly, the winner gets a sealed 12-box case of 2016 Panini Prime Signatures -- a $660 value.

All entries must be entered before the first game starts at 12:30 Eastern time on Thursday. Comments will be held here before they are approved in batches. (Don’t worry if you don’t see your answer appear immediately on the page. It will show up.)

In the event of a tie, the first correctly posted entry based on the timestamp wins. Limit one entry per email address.

Kris Bryant has signed a million-dollar deal to sign autographs for Topps and with his Chicago Cubs ending more than a century of futility, Buzz figured it was time for a contest.

We already have given away one Bryant autograph today via Twitter but we have this 2016 Topps Triple Threads Auto Relic ... and we want it to be yours.

How? Keep reading.

There's a new look -- and a new place to keep track of all that's going on -- with BlowoutTV and a box of the new 2016 Panini Infinity football cards is part of it if you check things out.

While the breaks are regularly happening over at breakers.tv/blowoutTV, there is a new section of the Blowout Cards Forum where you can see all of the breaks that are planned in advance. You can post your claimed spots there, pay up and stay tuned for when the break will take place. That new section -- BlowoutTV with Matt -- can be found here and has all the info you need to know along with the latest lineups for larger breaks.

So, how does the Infinity box come into play? Head on over to Twitter and follow @Matt_BlowoutTV -- that's where you'll find up-to-the-minute updates on breaks as they happen as well as looks at the latest pulls you won't see here on The Buzz. Once that account gets to 500 followers, the box of the new 2016 Panini Infinity football cards (they officially arrive tomorrow) will be given away to a random follower.

The National Sports Collectors Convention is just getting going and for those not at the show there will be plenty to see here and elsewhere online to get a glimpse at all of the action.

Buzz wants you to get in on the action from afar by offering up this 2016 Topps Tribute autograph of Hall of Famer (and NSCC signer) Frank Thomas that was recently pulled in a Buzz Break.

Want your shot at the card? Simply leave a comment on this post telling us your favorite Hall of Famer. Include your email (in the spot where it asks for it) and also include your Twitter handle (so Buzz can follow you and also potentially contact you there if you win).

We'll pick a winner from all entries received by Monday. (Yes, you can enter if you're at the show ... and don't worry if you don't see your comment immediately. They are held before approval.)

This could end up being the Chicago Cubs' year -- and you could be right in the middle of it all on Aug. 31 in Wrigley Field.

You'll throw out the first pitch and you'll meet Hall of Famer Ferguson Jenkins. Oh, and you'll have to lead the crowd during "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch.

How? You'll have to enter a contest from InvestInBaseball.com.

Our weekly Blowout #BuzzWorthyPulls Contest is back. Every single Saturday we'll launch a new post where all you have to do is show off your biggest, newest card via a photo posted on Twitter and here on BlowoutBuzz.com.

Your prize if you're the winner? A $25 BlowoutCards.com gift certificate.

This week's contest & instructions: Show your best pull from any product, any sport or non-sports. We have simplified the steps -- read the instructions to make sure your entry is done correctly. (If you don't follow the instructions, you will not win.)

Step 1 -- Take your photo. This must either be a selfie with the card or a card image with #buzzworthypulls hand-written beside it. Be sure to show the card clearly.

Step 2 -- Tweet us and tag it. Tweet your pic to @blowoutbuzz and @blowoutcards and you must include the #BuzzWorthyPulls tag. You don't have to say anything else but if you need to add a detail ("Card is a 1/5.") you can. Limit one entry per Twitter account.

What's next? Be Patient and wait for the following Saturday ... we'll announce a winner either in the early morning or in the evening (depends on Buzz's schedule). The winner will be notified on Twitter and noted in the comments for that week. The comments will then be closed. At the same time, we'll post the next contest and you can enter there.

Are you ready to win? You know what to do ... show us your #BuzzWorthyPulls.

Besides the latest info about your hobby and collecting, there are also contests -- and we're here on the first day of 2016 to reveal the final contest winners of 2015.

Boxes of Topps' Star Wars cards, Upper Deck's hockey cards, Topps' 2015 Bowman Draft baseball cards and Panini America's football cards were up for grabs with a simple retweet contest that developed on Twitter Thursday evening.

Were you one of the winners?

Black Friday has come and gone, but we've left our biggest contest to run through the weekend and into Cyber Monday.

We're giving away a case of Panini America football cards.

We want our 20-box case of 2014 Panini Rookies & Stars Longevity football boxes to be yours. It's jam-packed with four hits per box (that's 80 per case!) and originally carried a suggested retail price of $50 per box.

In a comment right here, guess the total number of points scored in the Ravens-Browns game on Monday night without going over. All entries must be in before the game starts at 7:30 Central time on Monday and comments will be held before they are approved in batches throughout the weekend. (Don't worry if you don't see your answer appear immediately on the page.)

***KEEP READING FOR STEP ONE OF TIE-BREAKER***
If there are several collectors who correctly pick the same score, our tie-breaker process will be this:

1. First preference goes to a blog subscriber. Look for the red button you see here on the upper right of the screen (or at bottom of story feed on mobile). Suscribe and you will get an email every time there is a story posted on BlowoutBuzz.com. (We'll have plenty of info posted here daily.)

2. If all correct responders are already blog subscribers, we will select one winner at random.

Oh and be sure to follow BlowoutBuzz on Twitter @BlowoutBuzz.

We know Black Friday is about doorbusting bargain prices, but we've also got something in store for you right now from BlowoutCards -- a deal that can't be beat if you're creative or lucky.

It's free and it all starts right here.

We have three ways for you to win, beginning with tonight's Bears-Packers game.
