Like many collectors, Buzz is a fan of grading and knows that there are many reasons that collectors choose to slab cards. Sometimes it's to enhance the appeal and protect them when selling. Other times it's to protect an investment for the long-term or to protect for sentimental reasons. Or, it might be just for fun or curiosity about a potential grade.

Here's this month's grading diary here on The Buzz ...

WOOOOOOO!
The Card: Charlotte Flair 2015 Topps WWE Undisputed NXT In Line Autographs #NA-CH
The Reason Graded: The trio of big first/first-year autos in this release for three of the four biggest homegrown women's names (aka not Ronda Rousey) in WWE in this one have been slabbed in my stash -- Flair this time, Becky Lynch last time and Sasha Banks a couple times before in the history of this series. Why? Well, I think first (or first-year) autos are way more important than what people argue about on the Rookie Card front. They're inherently rarer and this brand is one that always seems to grade well as long as there's not any back-edge damage here (the designs often have dark colors).
The Grade: CSG 9.5

Reality Check: This one checked in where I had hoped -- and thanks to their new shift to a "Gem Mint 10" scale this one would be a 10 if in a new slab. (I'm good with that, too.) Flair isn't my favorite of The Four Horsewomen of NXT but I think this is one of her better cards ... though I do wish she would have signed in blue like everybody else.

The Big One is here!

Blowout TV pulled off something big early this morning that all those live marathon breaks just couldn't -- it landed the LeBron James triple-logoman card from 2020-21 Panini Flawless NBA. The pull came from a box split by a trio of buddies -- one from Orlando, one from Upstate New York and one from Truth or Consequences, N.M.

"I couldn't believe it ... I talked them into doing the break with me," said the New Mexico collector who wished to remain anonymous at this time. "This was my first time doing a group break. Since it was my idea, I've decided to auction the card and we'll split it three ways ... except I finally get $5,000 from my buddy for that card-show loan he never paid back."
