We should all know by now that 2019-20 Panini Prizm is a phenomenon when it comes to NBA cards this season -- and a global phenomenon, too, as the league with global appeal also now has Choice cards popping up now from elsewhere in the world.

If one opts to take the challenge to try and collect 'em all -- it might be tougher than ever with several formats in this release -- you'll need a total of 41 cards per player. That's a basic card and then 40 parallels -- and there are technically more as some players have photo variations (but we'll leave those be for now).

Zion Williamson is a clear and present force in this year's version -- however, he's not alone as it's a huge 300-card set of past and present players as well as rookies. That's a factor that also makes the challenge an interesting one, too, in that everything gets so spread out. Case in point? Not every version of even Williamson has surfaced and hit eBay just yet -- and he'd be more likely to show than, say, Kevin Huerter ... the guy I seem to keep finding in my packs.

Here's a look at what's out there for everybody in 2019-20 Panini Prizm ... and there are handy links to find the boxes, too.

If you hadn't noticed, our second wave of Black Friday boxes with discounted prices have dropped right now right here as BlowoutCards.com is bringing a wave approach to today's sales.

There are three more waves of discounted boxes to come later in today's big sale ... so keep watching.

Here are five boxes/cases that caught this collector’s eye in this first wave.

2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops hobby box
The big discount on this one is an opportunity to chase some of those big on-card autos of the big guy here, Zion Williamson, along with plenty of other autos as you get two per box. There isn't some kind of tiny limit on how many boxes you can grab here, either, so that helped make this one the lead-off spot for this new wave. Loading up on basic Rookie Cards from brands like this are better done now than later as flagship-style releases and their RCs are prime grading material and seemingly more popular than ever in recent years across the major sports. For many collectors who might have first dabbled in basketball cards with the arrival of Hoops back in 1989, this brand is a comfortable one. There's also plenty of insert action and other stuff to chase in here, too, beyond the guy on the box.

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.

ON-CARD INCLUSIONS 
The Item: 2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops Zion Williamson & R.J. Barrett Hoops Art Signatures autograph
The Price: $2,499.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: On-card autographs and multi-player autos aren't typically the norm for lower-end releases, but this year's edition of Hoops includes a few of those in this insert set and this isn't even the biggest card in that 10-card group, either. Williamson and Barrett have standalone solo autos in this one, while Williamson ink can be found alongside Ja Morant and Kobe Bryant, too. All 10 cards include just those four players in solo and combo pairings -- that's four solo and six combo cards. They can't be super-plentiful or easy to pull, but they're just adding to the big-chase feel in this release.

ONE FOR CHARITY 
The Item: Zion Williamson & R.J. Barrett 2019-20 Panini Prizm Draft Picks College Ties Black Mosaic (1/1) (BGS 9.5/10)
The Price: $15,401 after 63 bids (eight days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This card has taken on a life of its own on social media as it was pulled in a video and then taken to Texas for grading -- but then the story took another turn when its owner decided there needed to be a different finish to this card's story ... an auction where 100 percent of the money raised goes to charity. Listen to him make his decision public right here. The Zion prices have been crazy but this one could get even more dramatic before it ends -- it was at five-figures within the first day of its listing, despite Williamson being out (for now) with an injury.
