This new department will be an occasional series that will take a quick look at a game or gaming release with card elements -- essentially a breakdown of what's in a box, but not the typical kind of a Buzz Break. (Buzz isn't a gamer so this will just be what's in a box vs. gameplay analysis.) Maybe there's a box you'd want to see busted? Send Buzz an email at BlowoutBuzz@blowoutcards.com.

You probably won't see any sports cards in commercials during Super Bowl LI, but there will be plenty of collectors watching those pricey spots and Buzz will share some favorites here as they arrive during the game.

Biggest question on my mind first is ... will PuppyMonkeyBaby make a triumphant return?

Which one is best? Be sure to tell Buzz what you think here or on Twitter. For now, here are the early highlights.

Super Bowl Commercial: Buick
Buzz's Take: "If that's a Buick, then my kid's Cam Newton." (Spoiler alert: Your kid won't be winning the Super Bowl then ... too soon?)

Super Bowl Commercial: Kia Niro
Buzz's Take: Melissa McCarthy follows up her epic Sean Spicer SNL spot with a Super Bowl commercial where she shows you how "it's tough to be an eco-warrior."

Super Bowl Commercial: T-Mobile
Buzz's Take: Gronk flexes his acting chops and Bieber tries to class it up (or something).

More to come if you keep reading -- and more to come during the game, too.
