Have you seen the latest cool or interesting items on eBay? If not, you just might see some of those here every week as we're launching a weekly version of our eBay Buzz pieces that pop up from time to time. We’ll spotlight some items that have a story or just wow us with how much interest it might have — and we’re not just talking baseball cards, either.

THE RIGHT PARALLEL COLOR
The Item: Patrick Mahomes 2017 Donruss Red Press Proof -- Rookie Card parallel
The Price: $600 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Everything for Mahomes in 2017 is kind of a big deal and given how the last two seasons have gone there's no reason to stop looking -- either as singles or in wax form. I picked this one because I managed to pull one and it graded a BGS 9.5 -- not an easy task for paper stock -- and I think it's the best more-basic version color-wise (perfect for the Chiefs) and then also in its obscurity as its a retail-only parallel. Oh, and have you seen some of the prices paid for slabbed versions of this card? (A PSA 10 recently sold for $2,300 and raw copies have topped $500.) The photo here is a good one with his helmet off so you can see his face much like many oldschool RCs of legends from the past. He's already a legend of today. I'm not saying this card is under-priced -- raw, it probably isn't -- but if it ends up grading well? That's a solid long-term piece.

THE BASIC BIG ONE
The Item: Zion Williamson 2019-20 Panini National Treasures NBA Rookie Patch Autograph (/99)
The Price: $76,700 after 128 bids (two days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This was the first NT Zion Williamson card to hit eBay from this premium brand and it's one that's, believe it or not, not even the priciest card to hit the auction site. Hit that link below to see the rarer six-figure version of a Williamson card already up for grabs ... the first of many to come from this release. Is there hype here? Yep. Is there the money being paid for cards like this? Yep. Is there risk? Yep. Is there big-reward potential if he dominates the NBA for years? Yep. The boxes aren't cheap but the potential for life-changing cards is real ... in case you missed this here it is again. There are a lot more than 99 people out there around the world who would want this card and the price is in part a reflection of that. How it ends will be interesting to watch -- and I also wonder if the bidding would be helped by a better-looking photo (I had to clean things up to present it here) but that's probably a topic for a different time.
