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 list: Six sports experiences up for auction in the All-In Challenge that got Buzz's attention.

THE NFL'S GOAT STEALS THE SHOW
The Experience: Tom Brady's first Tampa Bay Bucs game-used jersey, cleats & more
The Price: $140,000 (so far ... after six bids)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The winner of this one gets the choice of a private workout or a private dinner with Brady following his home debut with the Bucs (whenever that happens) -- and the winner gets Brady's first game-used jersey as well as his cleats as part of this auction in the All-In Challenge, which also has a number of other experiences up for grabs via raffle ticket formats. Brady's first Bucs jersey is a huge deal if you ask me ... but there are other actions also worth a look.
For simplicity, this list is limited to a few from the 66 auctions and it's focused on the sports world -- there are far more other things out there, including film roles, golf outings with athletes and celebs, the chance to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated and even the chance to be an NBA Draft pick -- all of those via tickets starting as low as $10. More than $8.1 million has been raised so far.
Keep reading for five more auctions that caught my eye ...
FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
The Experience: Dinner with The Undertaker -- and get one of his robes, too
The Price: $15,000 (for now ... after 20 bids)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The winner here flies to Austin, Texas, with a friend to have a private dinner with the WWE legend and talk shop ... and the winner also walks away with a custom-made ring jacket worn during his career. Does anything more really need to be said on this one?

THE BLING'S THE THING (PART I)
The Item: Peter Guber's 2015 Golden State Warriors Championship Ring
The Price: $65,000 (so far ... after four bids)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The Warriors' co-executive chairman is letting one of his rings go here -- there's no meet and greet with this one -- and it's got 240 stones with a twist-off and reversible top. It's made of 14-karat gold and contains more than six carats of diamonds and sapphires.
--
BATTING LESSON & SOME BLING -- PART II
The Experience: Alex Rodriguez batting lesson and get his World Series trophy
The Price: $60,000 (so far ... after two bids)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: His players trophy goes to the winner after a one-hour lesson that will include a two-night hotel stay and plane tickets with the active MLB park to be chosen by the winner, too. (Let's not get cute and do this at Fenway.)

YOUNG NBA STAR POWER
The Experience: The Trae Young ATL Experience
The Price: $16,000 (so far ... after three bids)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The memorabilia side of this one includes his game-worn shoes and jersey as well as some special-edition shoes that only the winner and Young will have. But it also includes a two-night stay in Atlanta for the winner and two friends who will get car service to visit his favorite spots during the day, pre-game photos, courtside tickets and more.

THE BLING PART III
The Experience: Miami Hurricanes turnover chain and sideline experience
The Price: $20,000 (so far ... after 12 bids)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The winner gets one of the two original The U Turnover Chains as well as a Friday night dinner with Ray Lewis and two guests as well as on-field passes for a game, a suite for 14 people for the game, $1,000 for food and beverage credit and more. It's mostly about that bling in my mind ... I can imagine more than a few past and present players want that one -- maybe even The Rock.
