eBay Buzz: Wander Franco's Bowman arrival, Baker Mayfield, Vin Scully, a Ken Griffey Jr. RC box and Stranger Things stars
Have you seen the latest cool or interesting 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 BIG GUY
The Item: Wander Franco 2019 Bowman Magenta Printing Plate Autograph (1/1)
The Price: $8,499.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This guy is the big one (so far) in this new release and while that price is high it's not as steep as what will be seen for his colorful parallel autos in the set. I'm priced out on all of them but I'd prefer this one -- due to rarity over many of the color Refractors that will be pulled and priced with new-car potential on eBay in the coming days.

Best of 2018: Revisiting some of Buzz's favorite breaks
Between everyday Buzz Breaks and the near-monthly Buzz 12 in 12 marathons, Buzz busted a lot of packs in 2018.
How many? Well, Buzz is almost afraid to count -- though it was seemingly news to me that the 12 in 12 marathons actually started early last year. (That's even more proof there's been a lot of wax to get these hands ... it's all a blur.)
It was a year of memorable pulls for me at times with some icons' autographs found in my packs. It also was fun one ripping into really old packs, too, with some cheap thrills there.
Breaks are among the most-popular items seen here nearly every day and Buzz knows that. So look for plenty of breaks in 2019 -- but, before that time comes, keep reading for links to not one, not 18, but 25 memorable breaks from 2018.

Leaf readies promo cards that pack some punch for this year's NSCC
Leaf Trading Cards has revealed its plans for promo cards, wrapper redemptions and more at this year's National Sports Collectors Convention and it's got two of the biggest names in fighting facing off on its cardboard at the show.
Anyone who opens a box of Leaf cards at the booth will be entered into a daily drawing to win one of five Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor dual autograph cards made for the show.
While that daily drawing will be one for only a few, it's not the only Mayweather-McGregor card to be found in Chicago.

Rare Kris Bryant autos, party passes, sketches & cuts command cash from Topps' historic Transcendent release
With 52 autographs in every box -- as well as a posh party invitation -- it doesn't take a lot to see the dollar signs inside each $25,000 box of 2016 Topps Transcendent Collection baseball cards.
Those invites alone get a good chunk of change back (details here) and each case's 1/1 Kris Bryant autograph using one of the 65 historic Topps designs commands some, too. Those cards have sold for as much as $2,182 on eBay (so far) and all seven sold have gone for at least $1,000.
Meanwhile, the asking or bid prices in current auctions are over the $1,000 mark in all but one instance and range as high as $7,250 for those in the historic set.
But the priciest find found inside one of those 65 silver briefcases? It's much more impressive.

Vin Scully nears finale with very little certified ink for fans to chase
Vin Scully has been in baseball as the voice of the Dodgers for the last 67 years.
That's longer than Topps baseball cards have been regularly around. That's just a few years after the NBA was founded. That's longer than 14 MLB teams -- nearly half of of the majors -- have been around.
With the 88-year-old's broadcast career in its final stretch, some collectors might be looking to grab one of his few certified autographs -- it won't be easy.

Hey, Sports Illustrated ... what took you so long?
As legendary broadcaster Vin Scully winds down his 67-year run as the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, the 88-year-old Hall of Famer finds himself on the cover of a 62-year-old weekly (and highly collectable) magazine for the first time.
