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 releases: 2019 Panini Contenders Draft Picks and 2019 Panini Prizm Draft Picks -- a combo since I truly couldn't decide which way to go during this NFL Draft weekend.

THE TOP GUY ... 
The Card: Kyler Murray 2019 Panini Prizm Contenders Optic Mojo College Ticket autograph (/15)
The Price: $1,250 opening bid (six days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This card is perhaps a tad confusing ... it's a Contenders Optic card from Prizm and there's one in Prizm packs, too, but that one is not serial-numbered to 15 according to the checklists. Either way, this is a big pull and it's got on-card ink of the guy who went first in the 2019 NFL Draft last night and also the Heisman winner who is the only player ever taken in the first round of both the MLB and NFL drafts in the same year. There's a lot of attention and storyline here -- especially with the added Josh Rosen drama -- but he might be the biggest name of the bunch drafted so far when it comes to cardboard. (At least until everybody suits up.) This is an actual auction instead of a Buy-It-Now with new-car pricing attached, so we'll see how much demand there is here in a few days.

A No. 1 CONTENDER ... 
The Item: Kyler Murray 2019 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Cracked Ice auto (/23)
The Price: $3,499 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This one's serial-numbering is his uni number and his potential selection spot in tonight's NFL Draft. Is the price out of whack? Probably not given how some QBs have sold in recent years when it comes to rarities and  autographs. It's also not the highest-priced of his cards on eBay right now. The only drawback here is that his card won't note his new NFL team -- these arrived in packs this week -- but he's got a pretty successful Oklahoma history and a strong fan base there that will have their eyes on this one now -- and later -- no matter where he goes.

THE BIG GUY
The Item: Wander Franco 2019 Bowman Magenta Printing Plate Autograph (1/1)
The Price: $8,499.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This guy is the big one (so far) in this new release and while that price is high it's not as steep as what will be seen for his colorful parallel autos in the set. I'm priced out on all of them but I'd prefer this one -- due to rarity over many of the color Refractors that will be pulled and priced with new-car potential on eBay in the coming days.
