Buzz Buys ... A LOT: A nice little mix of Americana cardboard
Buzz buys a lot of stuff these days and for a few reasons, really. Sometimes it's just bargain-hunting, sometimes it's just something that strikes me. And other times it's a lot -- a group of things -- and that has happened enough lately I figured I'd try something different as a regularly appearing item. Sometimes my lots will be wins, sometimes they won't be ... but I'll let you decide.

A LOTTA AMERICANA
The Lot: A mixed-year lot of 74 Donruss/Panini Americana cards (a few base -- mostly serial-numbered inserts -- and a couple hits)
The Price: Less than a blaster box in the retail wild (with tax) -- check out some non-sports breaks here
