Volodymyr Zelensky's chapters in the history books aren't yet written, but the record books already reflect a significant place on cardboard.

The Ukraine president doesn't appear on a lot of cardboard -- actually, right now, it's just six cards -- but they are in big demand as his historic profile is unfolding before our eyes daily as his country is being attacked by Russian forces. Demand has even led to unauthorized/fake "reprint" cards without the embedded actual flag patch inside them over on eBay. (So read listings closely and examine the photos if you're a potential buyer right now.)

Update: "I don’t like seeing counterfeits. This was the first time," said Brian Wallos, who brought the landmark Decision 2016 and Decision 2020 sets to life. "We only printed about 50 of the unnumbered Silver flags of about 55 subjects. ... The world Leader Flags are inserted about six to eight per case. We are also adding a lot more parallel colors to Decision on the coming products."

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 release: 2019 Topps Allen & Ginter baseball cards
Checklist & First Buzz preview: Click here 

--

A FIRST-PITCH PHENOM 
The Card: Hailey Dawson 2019 Topps Allen & Ginter #154
The Price: Affordable for base -- autographs and Relics should be in demand.
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: She's a 9-year-old who has thrown out the first pitch at all 30 MLB ballparks, and, while that's impressive on its own, she's actually done that with a 3-D printed robotic hand -- she was born without three fingers and has two under-developed fingers since she has what's known as Poland syndrome. She completed the 30-park feat last September and it didn't take too long for her to get a baseball card. You can learn more about her adventures by following this Twitter account.

Today's highly anticipated release of the JFK files -- the previously classified documents regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 -- are sure to be a holiday of sorts for conspiracy theorists and are sure to pique the curiosity of history buffs and presidential-minded people.

But the life of the 35th president has prompted plenty of cardboard appearances over the years, too, far beyond just the tragedy of that November day in Dallas, Texas.
