The Empire Strikes Back
Buzz Buys: Unique cards, Prizm WWE, old magazines, foul ink, John Candy, autographs, Crimson Tide legends & plenty more
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 ...
--
SOMETHING SIMPLE ...
The Card: Shaun Alexander 2000 EX NFL Debut Postmarks
The Price: $7.75
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This is a throwback leading off because I have a simple question to present with it ... have we seen anything like this recently? As you can see, this card has a stamp affixed to a card with a postmark applied on the day of his NFL debut, which was in Miami. It's a simple kind of non-traditional card -- I don't think I'd call it a hit -- but something like this could mix things up a bit. Sure, there's a little extra work involved here but ... something different in packs that can be done for pocket change wouldn't hurt, right?

Luke Skywalker's Empire Strikes Back blaster hits auction block
Mark Hamill may need to chime in on this one.
No, it's not an autograph for the actor to authenticate -- it's a prop DL-44 heavy blaster pistol of Luke Skywalker's from The Empire Strikes Back and it's up for auction with a $200,000 opening bid.
