What happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas this time ... because Blowout Cards will be there.

A million-dollar break of 25 cases of 2020-21 Panini Flawless and Flawless FOTL basketball cards -- an event that's pretty much the most-valuable group-break ever -- will happen at 7 p.m. Eastern Thursday night in Las Vegas. This high-stakes break will be streamed via YouTube (right here and right here) and is sponsored by Goldin. It will be hosted by Layton Sports Cards and Blez Sports Cards. Blowout will be there as a case sponsor with action from the scene captured online -- and we'll also embed the video feeds right here on The Buzz.

Spots in the now sold-out break were $40,000 apiece and were filled via both Layton and filled via Blez. There will be 15 standard cases and 10 FOTL cases in the break.

“I’ve been waiting a long time to announce an exclusive partner in the autographs and collectibles space, and I’m so excited about teaming up with Fanatics as we get ready to start the season,” Harper said in a prepared release. “We have the best fans in the world in Philadelphia and I’m very proud of the incredible product selection we’ll be offering together.”

There are two things about collecting that might be a slightly lost art right now with so many big-money chases out in the card world -- but they still might apply no matter what you're chasing.

What are they? Well, Buzz loves "the dig" and the concept of "something for nothing." They're things that are still do-able in today's hobby, but it just depends on your definition of "nothing" and your digging tastes. Sometimes there's plenty to dig through in boxes and other times you just have to scroll and scroll some more.

With this new series starting right here, right now, I'm turning just a tiny bit of that energy just a few degrees away from cards (we'll still have plenty of them here) for a different kind of cardboard. What am I doing? Simple ... this is an occasional dip into some random ticket lots -- a show and tell showing something small with a story. A tip: Tickets have picked up steam with slabbers -- and it's a topic that's not just limited to sports, either -- so if something is appealing there might be value ... especially if it's obscure and interesting.

Keep reading to see the item and the details this time ... and tell me if you think it's a Ticket Stud or a Ticket Dud.

Volodymyr Zelensky's chapters in the history books aren't yet written, but the record books already reflect a significant place on cardboard.

The Ukraine president doesn't appear on a lot of cardboard -- actually, right now, it's just six cards -- but they are in big demand as his historic profile is unfolding before our eyes daily as his country is being attacked by Russian forces. Demand has even led to unauthorized/fake "reprint" cards without the embedded actual flag patch inside them over on eBay. (So read listings closely and examine the photos if you're a potential buyer right now.)

Update: "I don’t like seeing counterfeits. This was the first time," said Brian Wallos, who brought the landmark Decision 2016 and Decision 2020 sets to life. "We only printed about 50 of the unnumbered Silver flags of about 55 subjects. ... The world Leader Flags are inserted about six to eight per case. We are also adding a lot more parallel colors to Decision on the coming products."
