I'm a sucker for a mystery grab bag on a lot of fronts and this one, well, is one of those results that has a story ... or really a bit of an anecdote behind it with a team you might have heard a lot about lately.

It's a ball with not one, not two but three authentication stickers taking over one panel -- and not all that aesthetically -- but that's because it started out as a Steiner Sports acquisition from a team and then when Fanatics bought out and took over Steiner then it stickered it up, too. (Ironically neither of those codes works ... it's no big deal and I chuckled.)

Meanwhile, the MLB Authentication sticker is the one that matters the most ... and this time it definitely revealed something of note. Sorta.

Well, you can keep reading to see the details ...

Brooklyn fans and Los Angeles fans have a new place to find autographs of a Dodgers legend.

Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax has signed his first cards for Panini America, which the company revealed on Thursday. The arrival will come in boxes of 2020 National Treasures baseball cards set to arrive on Nov. 4.

"We’re extremely excited to be able to introduce Sandy Koufax autographs and memorabilia cards to Panini America products," said baseball brand manager Tim Trout in a prepared statement. "We welcome Sandy with open arms and we know his mere presence in our products will be a huge driver for a lot of fans and collectors. It’s not every day you can say that a player addition can really move the needle for high-end products — but Sandy Koufax is not most players. He’s one of the greatest to ever do it."

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.

PREMIUM PREMIERE
The Item: Cody Bellinger 2017 Topps Transcendent Collection Silver variant autograph (/15)
The Price: $397.79 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: With the World Series starting tonight and this guy the one who made sure the Dodgers got there, I figured it would be fitting that this one leads off. It's a bit of a homer pick for me (I have a regular version of this card) but the prices on his stuff now are a fraction of what they used to be a couple of years ago. Why does this one matter in my mind? It's his best rookie ink in terms of a premium brand and it's possible that a number of them may not be in circulation compared to what that serial-numbering says as these were issued as redemption. The sticker covering a top-loader should make the redemption part obvious but that was the best pic here. (I didn't remove mine from the top-loader, either.) There might be a couple of concern spots here on the frame but that could also be on the holder in the scan, but I'd not be super-worried about that due to the scarcity and if you're not grading. I'm not sure who might command the most gains on the team if the Dodgers win it all, but in general you can't lose on premium stuff from early years if you get in on the lower side. This one, while somewhat pricey, feels like a bargain compared to other stuff out there -- see the link below. A card like this can reasonably sell for more later compared to those prices.

It's just a standard baseball card, but it's from a highly collected premium brand.

That's a sentence that could apply to a lot of players and a lot of sets, but in the case of the World Series-bound Tampa Bay Rays and their star newcomer Randy Arozarena it's true and it's arguably his best Rookie Card right now that we're about to talk about.

It's his 2020 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition RC -- a card that arrived after his Topps Chrome card and all of his Topps Chrome rookie autos -- but it's in a lot more demand because of something beyond all that special, sparkly Sapphire stock. It's something that has asking prices for this simple card as high as $749 right now on eBay (really ... see it here) with hundreds of dollars already spent.
