Cardboard apparently is a family thing.

Trevor Lawrence is coming to Topps cards next month with a 50-card set designed by his sister-in-law and brother. The former Clemson star and likely No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft will be the focus, though details have not yet been fully released, according to a Sportico piece.

“We always try to celebrate and chronicle what’s going on in sports and pop culture,” Topps' director of e-commerce Jeff Heckman said in the piece. “This is the first time we’ve done anything like this.”

BIG DEAL ON CARDBOARD 
The Item: Zion Williamson 2019-20 Panini Prizm Blue Prizms RC parallel (BGS Black 10)
The Price: $99,999.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Ok, so this price isn't likely to be hit (right?) but with the NBA's biggest newcomer set to take the court for the first time soon (right?) there could be some additional movement atop of his already pricey cardboard. It's something to watch for as this is a not-super-rare card from what is easily the most-popular NBA release of the last year and perhaps beyond. The boxes can cough up plenty of color and you can find him a few ways between the various formats ... so if he delivers when he hits the court the crazy numbers on his cards could actually get crazier. (Right?) I'm not buying this one but this is the kind of card that even with a number with a new nines knocked off should remind you why you need to be ripping into Prizm. The crazy part? This isn't even his most-expensive card on eBay right now -- hit that link below.

A UNIQUE TOUCH 
The Item: Juan Soto 2019 Topps Museum Collection bat barrel nameplate 1/1
The Price: $2,999.99 Buy-It-Now (or make offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: His full name is Juan Jose Soto Pacheco and it's "Soto Pacheco" that he has chosen to put on his bats. You can get a good look at one right here (click to zoom), though the MLB Authentication sticker (albeit unreadable) should be enough to make worries lessen. This is one simple personalized touch that shows how game-used bats (and premium bat cards) can be a lot more interesting. This card is an example of the big stuff that is possible in boxes of Museum Collection, though as a 1/1 card this one is no longer potentially in a box if you grab one.

Buzz buys and busts a lot of boxes right here for Buzz Breaks, but one of my goals just might be to rip fewer blasters this year and talk more about cardboard that I -- and you -- might like. One way to do that? Simple show and tell -- present a few pick-ups and say why they captured my attention. Would they capture yours? I'd be interested to know -- sometimes they might, sometimes they won't and that's fine. It's a buyer's market out there with plenty of options and bargains as well as high-end gems to chase.

So, with all that said, here are a few Buzz Buys ...

DAK & THE DETAILS
The Card: Dak Prescott 2018 Panini National Convention Sparkle Relics (/15)
The Price: $4.95
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This card has a few things going for it and it was found in a show promo pack instead of some super-pricey box, which is a plus for me and my bargain-minded buys. (I like good pulls from cheaper places. They just seem more interesting ... or at least more of a challenge.) I picked this one off primarily because it's got a "prime" type swatch from a game-used football on this parallel and these inexpensive cards are gimmes for me since there simply aren't as many game-used football cards out there vs. other pieces of equipment. I did a double-take when I saw the serial-number, though -- his jersey number -- and that made it a done deal.  To me that adds to the appeal of this card and I'm still a big fan of memorabilia cards. Is this a money card? Probably not, but I'm a collector not a flipper and it just seemed like a no-brainer for the price and scarcity.

Texas just might be the home to the NFL's hottest new rookie.

That was certainly the case on Sunday as Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson lit things up with five touchdowns -- four in the air, one on the ground -- as part of a record-breaking day for his team.

The Texans put up 57 points -- a new team record -- while Watson's TD total tied the NFL record for a rookie quarterback. And, according to the team, he's the first rookie QB to throw four and rush for one since Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton back in 1961.
