Fast Five is a quick list under a simple topic that might offer a basic starting point for a themed collection. It's a basic list of five items that could be fun for a starting collector or a new way to add to a stash that might already seemingly include everything when it comes to cardboard. For some of you, it's probably common sense. For others of you out there, it's something to think about.

This time? Five boxes Buzz would be ripping right now ... all from the bargain section.

BACK TO SCHOOL ... RIGHT NOW
2021 Onyx Vintage Collection College Football box
These aren't actually out yet -- it's merely in pre-order mode for a November release -- but this one is Onyx's take on the new NCAA NIL rules that allow current athletes to make money on their name, image and likeness right now rather than when they are done with their college days. College football and college basketball figure to be the biggest deals on this front and this one includes a pair of autos in a box along with two other cards. Bryce Young's start has the word "Heisman" attached already and the other certified autos of his all have had pro-type dollar signs attached, not mere college award-winner prices. These boxes figure to be a bit hit and miss -- the big names will pay for a few boxes, others probably won't -- but at their present price I think they are worth the risk moreso than a lot of other releases out there. College NIL autos will have a longer shelf life than your typical draft picks cards as the booster crowd will be interested as well as the school fans -- and they won't have NFL cardboard to trump them until further down the line. I'm sure more stuff is coming but the other other one of these releases on the tarmac is a multi-sport approach. This one is solely football so that gives it the edge for me. Once Panini America's fully licensed NIL stuff starts, those will be the first-look but these are not far off.

Keep reading for four more making up the list this time.

Call it a week for the recent rookies.

NFL Week 6 didn't have a lot of flashy games for collectors early on if you ask me, but New York Jets QB Sam Darnold returned for just his second game of the year and helped knock off the Dallas Cowboys 24-22 to give it some spark. He completed 23 of 32 passes for 338 yards with two TDs and a pick in the game, which had to have helped spark some life into his Rookie Cards from last year's boxes -- he's in everything then -- as the only attention they had been getting was for mono/spleen jokes.

You should already know all about Pat Mahomes II after the highlight reels from Sunday, but if not ...

The Kansas City Chiefs QB completed 23 of 28 passes for 326 yards and six touchdowns in a 42-37 shootout with the Steelers on Sunday and his season TD total of 10 is a new NFL record for the first two games of a season. His Rookie Cards and autographs can be found throughout 2017 NFL and draft pick products -- he's got nearly 2,100 different cards so far. He's also got close to 1,000 different memorabilia cards and his autographs are pushing 900 different cards with nearly all of them from Panini America, though he does also have ink from Leaf Trading Cards and SAGE. He's clearly the new "it" guy for the league and collectors in this young season.
