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 ... and this time around it's mostly stuff found on the affordable side.

WORKHORSE PLATES
The Card: Derrick Henry 2016 Panini Spectra Plates & Patches black printing plate (1/1)
The Price: About $9
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: We'll know soon whether this monster of the gridiron this season will be playing in the Super Bowl for the first time, but I figured I'd lead off with him since he's had a huge year. I'd also let this serve as a reminder that there are some solid bargains to be found among stuff that's not brand new and that there are types of cards that seem to be overlooked. This card fits that bill. Yes, printing plates can have less appeal depending on the color of the plate and the design of the cards, but they seem to be overlooked by many for some unknown reason to me. They are 1/1s available in four different colors/separations but people don't seem to always act like they are when selling or buying. This price works for me and for my collecting tastes, especially when you consider this is also from his rookie year.

A new year for Topps Now WWE cardboard is here with the winners from this weekend's pay-per-views getting the first round of cardboard honors.

A lineup of 10 cards gets things going for 2019 Topps Now WWE with six cards from the Royal Rumble Sunday night and four winners from the NXT Takeover: Phoenix event from Saturday night.

Standard cards are $9.99 with discounts available for bulk purchases (as low as $79.99 for 20) or via bundles ($29.99 for the four NXT cards; $39.99 for the Rumble set). These cards are made to order once the 24-hour sales window is closed. So if 200 copies are ordered, only 200 will be made.

Buzz promised this contest online last week ... and now we're delivering.

Whether it was a surprise or not, the deal is done -- and now the wait begins for cardboard.

Former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey made her WWE debut on Sunday night at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view in Philadelphia. After the main event, the first women's Royal Rumble match, Rousey marched to the ring wearing a new "Rowdy" Roddy Piper-inspired shirt and a coat given to her by the late WWE icon's son to make it known she's headed to WrestleMania.

"This is my life now," Rousey told ESPN. "First priority on my timeline for the next several years. This is not a smash-and-grab; this is not a publicity stunt. When I first met with Triple H, I told him, 'There are other things I can do with my time that'll make way more money, but I won't enjoy nearly as much.'"

When it comes to cards, Rousey has been among the most-popular female athletes out there and her autographs are among the most sought-after in UFC, despite her last match being back in 2016. The wait for her new WWE cards, may not be long, though, thanks to one detail seen on Sunday.
