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.

--

THE NBA'S NEW BIG THING?
The Item: Luka Doncic 2018-19 Panini Prizm Gold Autograph (/10)
The Price: $9,999.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: You might think this price is lofty -- it is -- but the completed auctions for this star are still just as crazy. Why? Through his first 21 games, the No. 3 pick in the draft has averaged 18.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game for the Mavericks. It doesn't hurt that this is a popular brand with NBA fans and it has a relatively deep checklist meaning you won't find him as easily as you might think in any color -- though nothing is impossible and the rookies have a good presence around the product.

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 ...

Update: It's here -- and here's your direct link.

Who wants to wait until Friday? Blowout Cards simply isn't as we're doing the ol' Black Friday thing all week long -- and Black Friday Week begins in less than 12 hours from now.

It all starts on Monday at 7 a.m. Eastern with the biggest deals in the business on tap beginning at that time and lasting as long as they can. But you shouldn't shop and run early as each day will have new deals -- and reloads -- all day long and Buzz will have Buzz Box giveaways -- boxes of free stuff -- each day, too. (Look for details on those tomorrow morning about an hour after the sale madness begins.)

While you've seen Doorbuster deals with each wave of Black November right here all month long, there's even more to come.

Like what? Keep reading for a sneak peek at some of the new deals on the way ...
