Buzz buys and busts a lot of boxes right here for Buzz Breaks, but one of my goals is to rip a little less 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.

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

THE PERFECT EARLIER SIG
The Card: Shotzi Blackheart 2020 Topps WWE NXT Roster Blue Autographs (/50)
The Price: Less than a box these days
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: If you're a regular reader, then you know this set and this auto -- in all colors -- is high on my radar and that's why I grabbed this super-clean copy with an eye on grading. It's not totally perfect but I'm fine with that as the core reason I bit here was how clean this sig is with her original WWE ink, not the shortened one that has come about on her cards since this earlier signing. (It's not quite her pre-WWE auto, which is more of a puffy almost "tagging" writing style with big curves and loops on all letters.) A quicker auto happens for many signers as they ink more and more stuff and some styles just won't come back -- so that's another reason this one is a favorite ... plus, not that many of her WWE cards have this auto.
Grab a box right here: None for this one ... but WWE boxes are here

Business is booming -- and the investors are noticing, too.

Goldin Auctions revealed Tuesday that it raised approximately $40 million in growth financing from The Chernin Group, an investment firm whose aim is "building and investing in leading, emerging consumer businesses in the media, commerce and technology industries."

According to the Runnemede, N.J., auction house's announcement, the funds will "help invest in technology, operations and audience development to further build upon the trust the company has established with buyers and sellers on its platform" as the auction industry has grown to more than $10 billion in annual transactions. The auction house was founded in 2012 and has grown quickly, grossing more than $100 million last year.

Founder Ken Goldin becomes executive chairman of the company while Ross Hoffman, who has held senior positions at Twitter, Google and Headspace, is the company's new CEO where he "will oversee the development of innovative new products and experiences that will redefine the collectibles industry and further cement the company’s reputation as the trusted leader in trading cards and memorabilia." Meanwhile, Goldin "will leverage his extensive knowledge, history and relationships in the collectibles industry to help lead the company’s continued growth."

Goldin Auctions is bringing in some star power to auction some Pokémon 1st Edition cards in an interactive way.

Logan Paul and auction house founder Ken Goldin will do a box break of the original series of U.S.-made cards on Feb. 27 live on YouTube where Paul, an entrepreneur and Pokémon collector, has 22.8 million subscribers. Packs are presently being auctioned -- with $10,000 opening bids on each one -- beginning today and running until Feb. 11.

Besides chasing Charizard, Blastoise, Chansey and Hitmonchan from the packs -- key cards pulled will be graded by PSA live during the stream -- each auction winner will receive one of 44 exclusive Paul non-fungible token digital art cards as you see above.

“I am thrilled to partner with Goldin for the biggest Pokémon unboxing ever,” Paul said in a prepared statement. “This is a newfound obsession of mine and I am so excited to share it with other enthusiasts around the world.”

It was a fantastic sight at Blowout Cards - The Fantastic Store on Wednesday as a holy grail of gaming walked in the door.

What you see here is a Pokémon Base Set 1st Edition Booster Box that's the home of the debut card for Charizard, a rarity that in top graded condition on its own sells for six figures. It's a card where celebs Logic and Logan Paul own and chase their own copies -- coughing up plenty for them just earlier this month.

Over on Blowout's Most Wanted where we're buying many types of these boxes, it's a monster, too. These boxes that only started arriving in the U.S. market in 1999 are as big as it gets with their own six-figure buying price. Click that link for the latest ... but as Buzz types this it's a cool $300,000. It's also not alone as there are other boxes commanding thousands ... and we're paying.

Why is there so much demand? Well, countless Pokémon boxes got ripped to sell as packs -- so sealed boxes are rare. And the rarest cards are even harder to find in top condition because, well, people played the game. For those who like to grade cards, there's hope that one of those monster cards is perhaps hiding inside ... but leaving the boxes sealed is also a safe long-term investor move. It's arguably a perfect storm.
