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 ... and this time around Buzz goes a little high-end (for him).

BUZZ FELT RICH ... 
The Card: Mercedes Varnado (aka Sasha Banks) 2021 Topps Star Wars Stellar Signatures autograph (/40)
The Price: Less than anybody else (so far)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This is one of those rarer (but not non-existent) times where Buzz paid up for a single card from a new release. Why? It's so premium-priced that single cards are the only way I'll see it -- and this time I'm not alone. It comes from the loaded Stellar Signatures release where only 100 boxes were made with all of them including ink from everybody who's signing for Topps every time. This is Varnado's first Star Wars autograph card and it comes from her role in The Mandalorian, so I figured I'd go there if they dipped enough ... and they did ... at least around the time I grabbed this. They do seem to be drying up, though, even in the weeks since I found mine with the cheapest as I write this being a $499 ask on eBay (for a parallel) with other copies of this base card even higher. This auto (vs. her Banks auto, which I have many copies of) is a lot simpler and the one private signing she did for Star Wars before these -- where they are at least $150 per photo depending on sizes -- showed her sig quality being all over the place. So, with that in mind, I went the card route as a sure thing. This one is clean -- though some cards in this release aren't as crisp -- so I was fine going there. Varnado has had just two other Star Wars autos arrive in the newest Signature Series release but those are stickers ... so I'll wait and see how prices shake out on more. I may not do a ton of them as it's a simple sig, but I knew I needed at least one in my stash and started with the best brand in the land.

LOOK AT THAT INK! 
The Item: Wander Franco 2022 Topps Postseason Autographs (/50)
The Price: $3,500 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This guy's cardboard is leading the way right now in terms of the chatter, the hype, the dollar signs ... all of it. Part of that is speculators wanting in on the big MLB talent for sure, but his play last year and his new big, long-term contract all help justify the interest. Why does this one lead off here? Well, it's not his flashiest, priciest or even best card ... but in this case the sticker is perfect. His auto has a lot of loops to it and others I have seen have all been running off of it ... even on better cards. (Is this one the norm? I don't know -- I didn't look too closely at everything out there -- but keeping all the ink on the sticker should matter. (Or a better way to say it, a bad sticker can hurt.) Keep that in mind if you're dabbling to slab here. If you're ripping packs, keep in mind that jumbos have ink every time ... so, realistically, you have a better shot at Franco ink there. Ink is also in hobby -- but not every box.
