Black November Wave 4 is here … and here are five I'd grab
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 going strong with Wave 4 dropping earlier today.
Many of the discounts are 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.

BEST POTENTIAL IN CHEAP BOX AWARD GOES TO ...
2013 Panini USA Baseball set
I'm not sure I've seen this one drop this low before (a doorbuster price that likely won't last long) and that only adds to the potential here. The base set includes the likes of Alex Bregman, Matt Chapman, Michael Conforto, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Jack Flaherty and Andrew Vaughn (among others) and each of those guys have autos and mem here -- and you get nine hits per box. Also among the hits can be members of the Japanese Collegiate All-Stars team and every box includes three Blue Prizm Select cards with all of those key names in there, too. At this price, this one is an easy throw-in and it's also one I'd consider ripping into three or four times for some safety. With all of the various patch cards and auto-mem combos and all those names, there's good potential here. Yes, there are a lot of guys who didn't pan out, too, but one key name on a key card like Vaughn, the third pick in last year's draft by the White Sox, or any of those MLB guys and it should feel like a solid bargain break.Keep reading for a few more boxes you should consider (and are likely to end up in Buzz's cart).

MORE THAN JUST MOOKIE ...
2014 Topps Heritage High Number MLB sets and cases
There was a time when these sets were super-affordable and pretty cheap considering they are loaded with Rookie Cards and include an autograph in every box, too. Then Mookie Betts blew up and so did these as people wanted one of his better RCs and a shot at his ink -- he's in there -- but he's also not alone. Here are some of the RCs that have had their ups and downs but are still in here every time -- Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton, Randal Grichuk, Billy Hamilton, Joe Panik, Jacob deGrom, George Springer, Xander Bogaerts, Kyle Hendricks (his only RC), Yordano Ventura, Kolten Wong, Jose Ramirez, Betts and reigning American League MVP Jose Abreu. It's a pretty strong lineup on one of the best Topps vintage designs, 1965 Topps, if you ask me. Autographs can be found with red ink (/10) atop the normal ones. and that lineup does include Abreu, deGrom, Betts, Springer, Ramirez, Nick Castellanos, Oscar Tavaras, Taijuan Walker, Ventura and a number of other players.Keep reading for a few more boxes you should consider (and are likely to end up in Buzz's cart).

Black Friday Wave 5 -- here are five deals to consider
If you hadn't noticed, our fifth wave of Black Friday boxes with discounted prices just dropped right now right here as BlowoutCards.com is bringing a wave approach to today's sales.
Here are five boxes/cases that caught this collector’s eye in this wave.
2017 Panini Crown Royale NFL retail premium box
This wave might be the strongest of them all if you ask me and this box's potential is one big reason why I say that. Back when I opened my only box of this one, I landed a Christian McCaffrey Platinum Rookie Card parallel -- a big deal this season -- but that's not the biggest rookie here ... you have a shot at Patrick Mahomes RCs and their parallels as well as ink and memorabilia cards. You get two hits per box here -- one auto, one mem -- and the strong rookie crop makes it a no-brainer at a price not dramatically higher than it was back when it arrived. It's not the flashiest design, but it's got some good potential.Buzz 8 in 8: Busting 2018 Donruss Optic (Hour 5)

Jacob deGrom and Mookie Betts autos just two big reasons why 2014 Topps Heritage High Number sets are scorchers
Not that long ago, one boxed set was easily found -- and it was a hotbed for Rookie Cards with a few autographs that might have some promise down the line.
That set? It's 2014 Topps Heritage High Number -- and it includes an autograph in every box along with a 100-card set that's stacked. Back then you could land them cheaply -- even for cases -- with red-ink autos an extra draw in a simple update to the 1965 Topps re-do from earlier in the year.
Now? Those same Rookie Cards are still in there -- we just look at them differently. Last night, New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom struck out a career-high 14 batters and matched the MLB record of 26 quality starts set by Hall of Famer Bob Gibson to put the focus of The Big Apple on him once again. The biggest driver -- arguably the breakout card -- in this one in recent years has been Mookie Betts after his American League MVP showing last season ... but he's not the only notable here.
Also found in this set? Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton, Billy Hamilton, Xander Bogaerts, Nick Castellanos, George Springer, Kyle Hendricks, Jose Abreu and Jose Ramirez. Some of then have very few Rookie Cards from that year -- and there's ink for many of them in these boxes, too.
