Have you seen the latest crazy 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.

THE NEW 2018 BOWMAN MEGA BOX MYSTERY
The Item: A redemption for a Shohei Ohtani 2018 Bowman Chrome auto from a 2018 Bowman Mega Box (What?)
The Price: $2,075 after 23 bids with six-plus days remaining
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: What is this? The only Shohei Ohtani card on the checklist for these Target-exclusive boxes is a ROY Favorites insert -- and he's not even listed as having an auto there. Could this just be that? It's not noted that way, meaning ... could it be one of his standard autos? Could it be a Kanji auto? Could it be (somehow?) the Superfractor hiding in the mix of cards set aside for these boxes? Maybe, maybe not ... (Update: Topps has announced that these are only for his standard Chrome autos and "a limited number are available.")

You won't see any sports card companies selling cardboard during Super Bowl 50, but there will be plenty of collectors watching Super Bowl commercials and Buzz will share some favorites here as they arrive during the game.

Which one is best? Tell Buzz here or on Twitter ...

Super Bowl Commercial: Skittles
Buzz's Take: Marshawn Lynch might have something to say about this one ...

Super Bowl Commercial: Chunky Soup
Buzz's Take: A classy football-related commercial that would make Donovan McNabb's mom proud.

Super Bowl Commercial: X-Men Apocalypse
Buzz's Take: Buzz hadn't seen anything for this one, so it was pretty striking. (Meanwhile, 41 million of you have seen the previous trailer since December on just one YouTube account ... Buzz was apparently in Star Wars mode back then.)

Super Bowl Commercial: Bud Light
Buzz's Take: In what's likely to be a series of commercials, Seth Rogen and Amy Schumer spoof politics. (For the record, neither one has a certified auto ... just saying.)

Super Bowl Commercial: Doritos
Buzz's Take: The leader for the creepiest and funniest commercial in the game so far ...

More to come ... keep reading.
