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.

--

SUPPLY VS. DEMAND ... 
The Item: Conor McGregor 2014 Topps UFC Bloodlines Ruby parallel (/8)
The Price: Sold for $125
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: I don't normally showcase old auctions but this one struck me as a tad surprising but also as a situation to offer up some thoughts, though it is admittedly a rare parallel card of a top name. What happens when wax boxes vanish because they get ripped and then rare stuff pops back up on the market years after a deluge? Well, sales like this and it's seemingly not alone as I have seen some Relic lots and other inclusions here command similar prices when they might not normally -- at least under conventional thinking that's not all that realistic about the markets. This brand is one with a hit in every box and 10 packs, too, making it a safe rip and a relatively fun one (I liked it and I'm not the biggest UFC fan) and in the box I opened I landed a parallel like this one -- mine was Ronda Rousey. The auto checklist has some solid names and every box also includes a cool engot card that can also command a few bucks and a lot more than you might think if it's a key name. I noticed a box of this one in stock over in the store and I'd totally grab it if I did higher-priced boxes more regularly ... but instead I'll let one of you do the honors and show me what I could have had.

Want some exclusive cardboard every month along with a little something else?

The Topps Future Stars Club is offering just that and it launched today.

For $24.99 a month, members will get a box that includes one box of Topps cards, one five-card set and one other type of "collectible item" -- this month's being a patch -- that's "curated by Bryce Harper." The box for the first package is a 2020 Topps Opening Day blaster.

Former pitcher Dan Haren pitched 13 seasons in the big leagues for the Cardinals, A's Diamondbacks, Angels, Nationals, Dodgers, Marlins and Cubs and when you work your way around the majors that much you tend to pick up some things.

Among them? Bobbleheads ... and he's selling them to raise money for charities.

These stadium-giveaway items can be hot commodities at times -- and many times they are not -- but your saved eBay searches today might reveal some bobbles with big-league dollar signs attached to them because The Haren Collection pieces come with a little extra item that's making a big difference during a time where there are big problems out there.
