I can't match this gamer to any specific play, but that's not why it's totally appealing.

This month's item in my Collecting Game-used series is my second -- but not my last -- piece of on-field history for the traveling road show and pop culture phenomenon that is the Savannah Bananas baseball team.

What does that mean? Think baseball meets a circus with side helpings of Zubaz-era WWF and some Talladega Nights-style NASCAR bombast -- but with game rules even quirkier than both. (For a taste, click that link.) It fits perfectly in my game-used collection for my player, former World Series winner, MLB All-Star, first-round draft pick and Moneyball standout Nick Swisher.

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.

THE BIGGEST BATMAN
The Item: 1966 Topps Batman (Black Bat) No. 1 The Batman (PSA 9)
The Price: $90,000 after 61 bids (ends Dec. 11)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Are non-sports "rookie cards" a thing? They are to many and this one fits the bill as this first card in the first set for the iconic character -- and it's already delivering big on the auction block where it will end this week. "Norman Saunders' bold brushwork captures the Caped Crusader in motion, surrounded by bursts of color that defined the campy, kinetic energy of 1960s pop culture," reads the Heritage listing. "This stunner is one of the highest-graded examples known, with none higher on the PSA population report ... it embodies the unmatched quality and care behind this legendary collection. Simply put, this is the Batman rookie every serious collector dreams of owning."
