Reminder: There were two big Browns rookies last year ...

Cleveland RB Nick Chubb had a day and his 88-yard TD run was a big, big highlight against the old Cleveland Browns for the new Cleveland Browns as they beat the Baltimore Ravens 40-25. Chubb had 20 carries for 165 yards and three TDs in the game and added three catches for 18 in the win. There's no doubt that QB Baker Mayfield was the top Browns rookie on cardboard last year -- and probably still is this year -- but this was Chubb's first 100-yard game of the year but was not a career-high. He had a 176-yard outing last year -- one of four 100-yard games -- but his three TDs this week was a career-high mark.

All that said, Chubb's Rookie Cards and autos from 2018 releases look like safe buys on the lower side -- especially if you can find some bargain prices -- as long as the team delivers on its potential and improves upon last year. His pricier stuff still won't be Mayfield-priced so there's definitely some upside there if the team delivers. Seriously, have you watched this run?

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 six-pack: Iconic autographs to own ... I'll make my signer choices and show six examples from recent releases. (This is by no means a catch-all or top-of-them-all list ... just six on Buzz's mind.)

PAST MEETS PRESENT 
The Card: Ronald Acuña Jr. & Hank Aaron 2019 Topps Tribute Tandem Autograph Booklets Red (/10)
The Price: $1,999.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: OK, maybe this is a Pick Seven this week, but this card is a perfect example of get it while you can when it comes to autographs. This card is super-rare and from a high-end brand and it includes autographs of one guy who you should have these days and one guy you need to have in your collection if you do baseball. Acuña is the autograph you should have as he's an emerging MVP-caliber talent -- a guy who came up just short of being the youngest member of the super-elite 40-40 Club at age 21 ... while mostly batting leadoff. The other is an MLB legend you need to own in some fashion, the former home run king who hit more home runs than anyone in history* (save for That One Guy*). This is the elite past meeting the elite future. Aaron is 85 and his handwriting has gotten rougher over time, while Acuña will have plenty of reasons to potentially not sign new autograph deals if he becomes more and more successful on the field. Aaron was the auto that came to mind first for me, but Acuña is perhaps the autograph to own for this season. Thankfully, I've pulled both of these guys' autos out of packs in the past, so I haven't had to chase them -- but they should both be in an MLB collection.

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.

TWO BIG ROOKIES ... 
The Item: Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones 2019 Panini Spectra dual-patch auto 1/1
The Price: $2,025 after 12 bids (two days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This card is a shiny shining example of how you can't predict legitimate NFL cardboard heat until we're a few games into a season -- and we're still not exactly there. One guy here was the No. 1 overall pick and the other was the No. 1 surprise in the first round -- and it's the surprise that arguably might be winning the battle right now after just taking over the job for the Giants. Murray has had some good stats at times but is winless. I'm not sure who might be powering the demand for this one just yet but it is a rarity from a high-end brand that, while unusual and colorful in the past, looks more appealing this year.
