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. That's where Buzz comes in -- well at least on one brand you'll see here from time to time in what we're calling Buzz's Pick Six. Simply put, here are six cards from a new arrival that seemed interesting to this collector and we think they might interest you, too.

This week's release: 2019 Topps Archives baseball cards

CAREER-SAVER FOR MANY
The Card: Dr. James Andrews 2019 Topps Archives Fan Favorites Autographs
The Price: Moderate demand -- these might surprise you at first (first eBay listing here)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: It's been five years since this famed orthopedic surgeon appeared on his first baseball cards in Allen & Ginter but this brand is a natural spot for the oddities directly tied to baseball, too. The list of athletes he's worked on is meaty -- it's a big part of his Wikipedia bio and that's far from all of them -- and he's a team doctor for a number of organizations, too. Among the notables? Bo Jackson, Troy Aikman, Drew Brees, Terrell Owens, Roger Clemens, John Smoltz, Jim Thome, Bryce Harper, Yu Darvish, Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson, Jack Nicklaus, Triple H, John Cena and Shawn Michaels among others. (They all might want his autograph, you know.)

If you've been shut out or just can't grab 2018 Topps Update boxes at this point, there is an alternative option for wax that has a pretty good shot at landing a key card of a key rookie who's looking to do some big things the rest of this season and likely for years in Atlanta.

He's Ronald Acuña Jr. and the box is the 2018 Topps Holiday Box where he's one of the RCs to grab that's -- for now -- pretty easy to land and can deliver big once you get it slabbed.

And there's also a parallel and hit versions for him to chase, too.

What happens when the story of how one of the weirdest baseball cards ever made gets mainstream media attention?

This -- a $250 sale for a raw card -- and it's not even close to alone.

The story of how Keith Comstock's memorable 1989 ProCards Las Vegas Stars card happened was told in a Wednesday ESPN.com piece titled "'You're the guy with the ball to the crotch': The inside story behind the funniest baseball card ever made."

And it's been chaos ever since.

The visuals for this one are still a bit of a mystery, but, then again, that's something the cult classic TV franchise is known for.

It's Twin Peaks and Rittenhouse Archives has a second series of trading cards on the way soon with a new shot at key names from the original chapters of the franchise as well as some new ink from the newest series.

The set's formal name is 2019 Twin Peaks Archives and it is planned to arrive on Oct. 23 with new autographs from stars like Kyle MacLachlan who were in the previous hit release from Rittenhouse and first autos for the series from stars such as Billy Zane and Eric Da Re. They aren't alone, either, in this one with a number of signers already revealed by the company.

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.

BIG DEAL, BIG CARD
The Item: Aristides Aquino 2014 Bowman Chrome Prospects Superfractor autograph (1/1)
The Price: $29,999.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This guy has been demolishing baseballs at a record pace since Yasiel Puig was shipped to Cleveland and part of the reason you haven't seen a lot of him here on The Buzz is that there's simply not a lot of cardboard ink to go around for this new MLB star. His only MLB autographs are in 2014 Bowman Chrome -- that's it -- with the only other options being in 2015 Elite Extra Edition and 2015 Panini Contenders. He hasn't signed a thing since. He's pushing 60 autographed cards between the three releases but has just over 70 different baseball cards right now with Topps Now releases piling up of late. He'll be a 2020 Topps Series 1 Rookie Card
