Super Break's Pieces of the Past line has helped fans of history and pop culture take a trip through time with standard trading cards featuring presidents and other notables as well as some cardboard creations that are not the norm.

One example? Pieces of the Past Relics that use pieces of signed documents as a memorabilia swatch -- they're similar but different. They're definitely unusual and often also affordable -- but some can command good cash from interested collectors, too.

In previous editions, that lineup was bolstered by stamp cards, news clippings and other surprises but in its latest edition -- the Hybrid Edition -- those things can be found together on cards along with a number of other potential finds with three memorabilia cards in every box.

If you hadn't noticed, there are a number of boxes with discounted prices right now over on the mothership as BlowoutCards.com is in the midst its Black November sales now.

Wave 6 is here and many of the discounts were dramatic enough that Buzz had to sit down and ponder the possibilities in many of the boxes and cases -- and here are five boxes/cases that caught this collector’s eye.

2016-17 Panini Threads NBA hobby boxes & cases
Threads is a simple formula but it's a comfortable one with two hits per box -- one autograph and one memorabilia card -- and a feel that's more deluxe than, say, NBA Hoops but still with some of the basics that give it a good collectable feel. (Check out this past break.) You can land ink from the likes of Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony here along with ink from the rookies, too. The memorabilia cards can include Hall of Famers, too, like that past break does, helping offer some extra scope for a price that's now pretty low. It's worth a rip for sure and it leads off this round of picks from this collector.

Keep reading to see more picks from this wave.
