Sometimes, unraveling the mystery is part of the fun with gamers ... and that mystery part doesn't happen as often with MLB stuff where it's almost as if everything that's used on a field or during a game can get an MLB Authentication sticker and have a place in a database forever before it hits a collection or gets chopped up to live inside a baseball card.

But down on the farm before they are big-leaguers? It can be a different story. Sure, stuff gets documented and auctioned/sold with a team letter or certificate quite often -- especially at the end of a season when the players are gone (and might not come back next year) -- but not everything. Baseballs? Nope. Caps? Not often. Helmets? Sometimes. Buzz did some on-the-cheap power-shopping in recent months and landed a few game-used caps from MiLB action and this first one is from the Columbus Clippers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians.

Most of my items in this Collecting Game-used series are MLB or other things that are ironclad in their documentation or I have been able to photo-match the item exactly to a photo, video or event. This time? Not so much, but it did have some features and some mystery that worked out for a bargain price -- cheaper than some packs of cards out in the retail wild -- and it turned out to be a player who got a taste of the major leagues in 2022, too.

The resurgence of WNBA cards in pack form during the Panini America years is one that includes plenty to collect -- and all it takes at the current Black Friday prices is one key card to come out way ahead.

There are more autographs and rarities for the league's top superstars and legends of the past than perhaps ever before with all of the flash and dash on the court meeting the likes of Prizm, which commands top dollar for rarities unlike ever before, while that same kind of flash is also found as Optic inserts in the Donruss boxes above and then there's the intergalactic feel of Revolution ... and that's not even all of the options in the sale.

But a late-breaking development from Blowout HQ has perhaps the biggest WNBA deal of 'em all coming up later today.

How big? The 10-box cases of 2023 Panini Origins WNBA (regularly $1,250 a pop) will drop for a cool price -- hit the link -- as an extra-big option for WNBA fans on this shopping day of all shopping days.

Those include three autographs or memorabilia cards in every box (at least 30 per case) and are among the newest way to land top talents in their new looks as well as new cards of past and present stars.

So, how well are WNBA stars selling on rarities?

Well, a 1/1 Origins A'Ja Wilson logowoman autographed card recently sold for, well, almost six cases at the sale price ($2,750).

The fascinating part is that's far from the lone big sale from the league this year. Just among recent eBay sales, there are more than 60 instances of cards selling for $400 or more ... now compare that to the box prices up top. Prizm, as always, is powerful but Origins also has some stuff that might not have been seen before by fans ready to add them to their collections.

Once more boxes get ripped even more big sales can and will happen.

If you hadn't noticed, there are a number of boxes with discounted prices right now right here as the new wave of Blowout Cards' Black November sales is here

Many of the discounts were dramatic enough that Buzz once again had to ponder the possibilities in many of the boxes and cases -- and here are five that caught this collector’s eye ... and there's far more that just might suit your tastes in the big sale.

MY SAFE PICK
2015 Topps Football factory set (Retail)
There's plenty to find in this set -- you get everybody -- but there's one basic card inside that's a Rookie Card (but not noted as one) with a lot of attention. It's the Pat McAfee Rookie Card. The NFL punter turned media mogul turned WWE commentator turned ESPN talker and now a full-on brand for that empire. I'm not a big fan but he doesn't have a boatload of cardboard and this is the home of the RC. It didn't get a RC logo as he had some medallion-looking insert the year before and then this one -- they weren't thinking about RCs for veteran punters -- but it's still a RC. Each set comes with some variations for rookies, a bonus hit and everything. When it's on sale, that's the time to grab ... it's a safe pick but there's still a little variety with that bonus hit.

Keep reading for a few more boxes you should consider (and are likely to end up in Buzz's cart).
