If you hadn't noticed, there are a number of boxes with discounted prices right now right here as Blowout Cards' Black November sales have arrived this year.

The first wave is here and many of the discounts were dramatic enough that Buzz once again had to ponder the possibilities in many of the boxes and cases -- and here are five that caught this collector’s eye ... and there's far more that just might suit your tastes in the big sale.

PLAYING IT SAFE? NAH ... THERE'S HUGE POTENTIAL HERE
2020 Topps Heritage MLB
Buzz isn't a high-roller for the most part -- even when the big sales hit -- but there are releases where the discounts can make the gamble (and this one, like many, can be a gamble) worth it. This one gets the nod from me this time as it's one that I did very well with -- check out the autograph in this break (or at right) -- that's a win that's not the norm ... but he's also not alone. You get some kind of variation in every box most of the time and a good name there can mean good things. There are also rarer Relics to go with ink here where master set collectors can pay well if it's something they need. This Ryan will end up in a slab for me at some point -- I should have slabbed it long ago no matter what but those black borders have made me push it off -- but other autos here include Bo Bichette (rookie), Austin Riley, Anthony Rizzo, Carl Yastrzemski, Fernando Tatis Jr., Hank Aaron (yep!), Johnny Bench, Mike Trout, Pete Alonso, Ronald Acuña Jr., Shohei Ohtani, Yordan Alvarez (rookie) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. among others. They won't be in every box or even every case, of course, but they could be in there and when it's cheaper that's when it's time to open.

Keep reading for a few more boxes you should consider (and are likely to end up in Buzz's cart).

Have you seen the latest cool cards from a new release? With so many options for collectors of all kinds arriving every week it's possible you haven't. That's where Buzz comes in -- well at least on one brand you'll see here from time to time in what we're calling Buzz's Pick Six. Simply put, here are six cards from a new arrival that seemed interesting to this collector and we think they might interest you, too.

This week's picks: A quick look at six products chosen by Buzz Twitter followers -- responses from this question on Tuesday: "Q: If you could open one box that's in stock on the @blowoutcards site, what would it be?"  The selections are theirs from a number of replies we got -- the reasons why they are worthy are mine.

PICKED BY BILLY ANDERSON aka @BAN0VA
The Box: 2019 Topps Heritage High Number baseball cards
The Price: Click here
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This one is pretty obvious as to why it was picked -- it's loaded with MLB Rookie Cards and autographs for those guys as well as some legends from today as well as the past. Ink isn't found in every single box but you won't care if you land a Hank Aaron, Pete Alonso, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Ronald Acuña Jr., Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani or Mike Trout. Heritage autos are safe long-term holds, too, along with many of the other rarities you can find among this product's checklist.
