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.

GONE FISHING ... CAUGHT THE BIG ONE
The Item: Mike Trout 2018 Topps Transcendent Collection Emerald autograph (/15)
The Price: $599 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This guy is one of the big names found in not one but two 2018 Transcendent Collection releases from Topps last year and he's the star of the VIP party that high-rollers will attend this year, too. While everything is low-volume in this ultra-high-end brand, there are a few guys who can be found more than others -- Trout, Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro Suzuki for sure as Trout is the main star in the standard version's extra inclusions, while the two Japanese stars are the only players found in the Asian edition.

And they all had one thing in common -- PSA or PSA/DNA authentication.

The Newport Beach, Calif.-based company recently took the time to examine the markets last year and touted its Top 10 for 2018. Keep reading to see everything on the list.

A school with one of the richest traditions in college football history is now on Panini America's team.

The University of Notre Dame signed an exclusive multi-year trading card agreement with Panini that will begin in April, joining more than 200 colleges and universities to appear on trading cards and potentially be showcased on products solely featuring past stars from the school's athletic programs.

“The ability to finally be able to welcome Notre Dame into the Panini America fold is something we’re extremely proud of," said Panini America CEO Mark Warsop. "There is such a rich history with Notre Dame and we look forward to producing unique trading cards for the Fighting Irish faithful, some of the most passionate fans in the world.”

Have you seen the latest cool cards from a new release? With so many options for collectors of all kinds arriving every week it's possible you haven't.

This week's release: 2018 Topps Legends of WWE

A SURPRISING HOBBY FIRST?
The Card: Shawn Michaels and Triple H Black Dual Autographs (/5)
The Price: $1,000 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Believe it or not (Buzz didn't), the three cards of these two WWE veterans in this release are the first cards ever to feature their autographs together. Considering their hijinks as D-Generation X ... that's a shocker. There is a standard card (/10), this parallel and a 1/1 Red version. How did this happen? Well, Triple H hasn't been a big signer in the past but recently signed with the company -- simple as that. (Michaels never was a heavy signer, either, though he could be found in a few products here and there ... even in a past Allen & Ginter release.) Ironically Michaels' number of different auto cards has been topped by Triple H in recent years. Is this asking price too much? Maybe, but there are only 15 other (total) signed cards out there to compete with it.
