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

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

THE WEIRD ONE ... WITH BIG POTENTIAL
Ty Cobb Authentic Handwritten Relic box
If you've ever wanted an autograph of MLB legend Ty Cobb but can't afford it, you're not alone. However, these boxes are the home of cut autographs from him and every box has a cut card that showcases a piece of handwriting from the Hall of Famer but at a far lower price than you might expect. The presentation here is pretty solid -- see how it looks in a Buzz Break I did awhile back -- and I'm probably going to do another. Hit that link for more details on what can be found here ... there are other chase elements.

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

If you've been shut out or just can't grab 2018 Topps Update boxes at this point, there is an alternative option for wax that has a pretty good shot at landing a key card of a key rookie who's looking to do some big things the rest of this season and likely for years in Atlanta.

He's Ronald Acuña Jr. and the box is the 2018 Topps Holiday Box where he's one of the RCs to grab that's -- for now -- pretty easy to land and can deliver big once you get it slabbed.

And there's also a parallel and hit versions for him to chase, too.
